In reference to the 2015 federal election, in which he ran as a candidate for the Democratic Advancement Party of Canada in the Calgary Skyview riding, Garvey has been charged with allegedly exceeding the contribution limit of $5,000 that candidates are legally allowed to make to their electoral campaign by approximately $26,000.

He is also charged with supposedly providing the Chief Electoral Officer with false or misleading documents about the aforementioned party.

Charges were filed at the Provincial Court of Alberta in Calgary in June.

Currently, Garvey is the leader of the federal National Citizens Alliance Party, a far-right Calgary-based party that is anti-Islam and focused on Canadian nationalism and limited immigration.
