  Communist Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The party was founded as the Canadian section of the Comintern, and was thus similar to Communist parties around the world.
Although the party was banned, affiliated groups such as the Workers' Unity League, the Relief Camp Workers Union, and the National Unemployed Workers Association played a significant role in organizing the unskilled and the unemployed in protest marches and demonstrations and campaigns such as the "On to Ottawa Trek".
The party was banned in 1941, and thereafter ran candidates as the Labour-Progressive Party until 1959.

 Canadian Social Theory
Partially through an inheritance from the British tradition where sociology was excluded from the curriculum of the traditional universities in deference to the established disciplines of philosophy, economics and history, sociology met with similar hostility in Canada.
Canadian sociology has begun to integrate the distinctive Canadian influences with the sociological developments from other countries into a sociology that attempts to understand and explain most aspects of Canadian society.
In general, Canadian sociology has used concepts and approaches that are not strictly sociological, relying on historical, political economic, geographical or technological approaches that deal with the different history and nature of societal development, development of classes, class struggles and the nature of the state.
