2010 Revival
In 2010, Ed Diebel began trying to revive the party. A website was set up where Northerners were invited to join the party. On August 6, 2010, the party was registered by Elections Ontario.
In its current platform, the Northern Ontario Heritage Party stops short of advocating full separation of the region from the province, but instead calls for a number of measures to increase the region's power over its own affairs, including increasing the number of Northern Ontario electoral districts in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and the creation of a special district for the region's First Nations voters.
The party received 683 votes in the 2011 Ontario election.

Famous quotes containing the word revival:
“I do not think a revival of business will be greatly postponed by [Samuel J.] Tilden’s election. Business prosperity does not, in my judgment, depend on government so much as men commonly think.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
