The party formed and registered with Elections Yukon on November 15, 2021.[2][4] In the remaining weeks of 2021, the party raised $8,149.[5]
Yukon premier Sandy Silver has suggested that the party's existence has exerted considerable pressure on the Yukon Party.[6]
In 2022, Zelezny attended some convoy protests in the territory organized by a citizens group called "Yukon Freedom".[7] The party denied any connection between the party and the protest organizers, saying that Zelezny was not an organizer, and that the similarity to the party's name was coincidental.[7][8]
