Labour Party of Canada

	NDP \| Our History
		She was first elected to the House of Commons for the Yukon in a by-election in 1987 and re-elected in the general elections of 1988 and 1993.
		For the next six years she led the Party through a tumultuous time during which the NDP formed the provincial governments in Ontario in 1990, under the leadership of Bob Rae, and in British Columbia in 1991, under Michael Harcourt.
		But Canadians, distressed by nine years of government under Conservative Brian Mulroney, turned to the Liberals in the 1993 general election and, as a result, only nine New Democrat Members of Parliament were elected, three less than that required for official party status in the House of Commons.

	Labour Party
		In 1872 Henry Buckingham Witton, a Hamilton carriage-maker, was elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative candidate, as was Alphonse-Télesphore Lépine, a Montréal leader of the KNIGHTS OF LABOR, in 1888.
		Puttee is considered the first labour MP because he was elected both in a January by-election as well as the November general election.
		Although the TLC failed to back the CCF in the 1930s, the Canadian Congress of Labour endorsed the CCF in 1943 as the political arm of labour, and the CANADIAN LABOUR CONGRESS later supported the establishment of the NDP.

	Elections BC - Electoral History of British Columbia 1871-1986 Part One Parties and Elections 1903-1986
		"Labour Party" and "Labour candidate" (or "Independent Labour Party" and "Independent Labour candidate") were used both by the press and by labour organizations to designate groups and individuals campaigning on a labour platform or in the interests of labour.
		As with the designation of Labour, this term was used by the press and candidates to describe a general ideological orientation as well as specific platforms and parties.
		The BCSP had been formed in 1901 by a merger of the Canadian Socialist League and the United Socialist Labour Party who in 1900 had jointly nominated and sponored the first socialist candidate to run in a provincial election.

	CLC/CTC > Capacity Building for Change
		Labour, with its membership spread throughout our vast country, is in an ideal position to bridge the needs and concerns of both urban and rural Canadians. Similarly, the diversity of the new Canada can be a source of new energy and activism.
		The labour movement was a founding partner in establishing the New Democratic Party in 1961, and since then has supported the NDP politically, organizationally and financially.
		Labour's political activism is multi-dimensional: lobbying governments; electing progressive candidates; mounting demonstrations and strikes; stimulating debate and dialogue; and, building coalitions with social movements.

	THE PROPOSED NEW LABOUR PARTY
		This witches' brew goes under the name of an "Interim Manifesto of a Socialist Committee for the Organization of a Labour Party." These are the "Commandments" of a new Canadian Labour Party organized in the best Moses' tradition to lead the chosen into the promised land of Socialism — eventually.
		These so-called socialist reform parties along with the Communist Party are actually gross political charlatans who have done more harm to the Socialist movement than all the avowedly capitalist parties put together.
		But the pseudo-socialist parties and their leaders, those "intellectual maitre d'hotes," with their emotional and confused socialist prattling lead their incipient class-conscious supporters down the garden path with the inevitable aftermath of disappointment and despair to the detriment of the whole socialist movement.

	Canadian Dimension / Articles / The Left on Canada-Quebec relations — outflanked and bamboozled yet again? ...
		Both parties are unable and unwilling to break free of the neoliberal policy straitjacket and institutional ground rules of the Canadian state.
		This has several aspects: the regional fragmentation of the party system in Canada; the lack of proportional representation and the marginalization of many political viewpoints from electoral representation; the under-representation of urban voters; and the failure of the federal system to accommodate the Aboriginal and Quebec peoples within Canada.
		This failure of the two main parties has its immediate origins in the organizational and electoral collapse of the federal Liberals in Quebec in the wake of the sponsorship scandal and the revelations of the Gomery Commission about this scandal.

	Canadian Federal Labour Standards Review - Submission: Work Less Party of BC (Site not responding. Last check: )
		According to Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the unemployment rate in Canada, at 6.8% in July 2005, is now "historically, very low for the Canadian economy." That is very much a matter of perception and interpretation.
		It is the view of the neoclassical economic theory of the hours of labour as explained by Sir Sydney J. Chapman at his presidential address to the Section on Economic Science and Statistics of the British Association for the Advancement of Science delivered in Winnipeg in 1909.
		The Advisory Group urges the federal and provincial ministers of labour to give priority to the issues of worktime in their deliberations and to examine the policies in their jurisdictions which would support new arrangements in the public and private sectors with the potential for additional job creation.

	Canadian Labour Congress Convention
		This defeat for Labour, and victory for the neo-liberal agenda, has its analogy in Ontario where three years of sequential one-day general strikes (1995-98) in a dozen cities against the Mike Harris provincial Conservative regime were unceremoniously ended.
		Labour’s retreat -- manifested most sharply in terms of concessions bargaining, the curtailment of union democracy and solidarity, and the shrinkage of union density – has resulted in stagnant wages, a declining standard of living, increased job insecurity, and growing union paralysis.
		Its ongoing aim is to unite labour and social movement militants to resist labour concessions and social cutbacks, support struggles for union democracy, turn the unions into fighting organizations, advance the interests of working people, and oppose corporate profit and power.

	The Ross Dowson Resource Archives speech
		There is no question that the BLP is a reformist party, not a revolutionary party, but a party which encompasses the class, and quite accurately - but by no means precisely - reflects the level of the consciousness and combativity of the class as a whole, if one can define a thing like that.
		And it was in 1906, the year of the big breakthrough for the British Labour Party, that there was a resolution that came on the floor of the Victoria Trades and Labour Congress meeting in Victoria (B.C.) The Victoria TLC submitted a resolution to this congress in 1906.
		Each party, as the delegates of the Party (the CLP) agreed, in the formation of the party in B.C., that there be no sinking of the identity of any working class party at present in existence.

	Canadian Labour Movement Today \| Autonomy & Solidarity (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Canadian labor has been historically independent of the major capitalist parties, developing a relationship with the social democratic New Democratic Party (NDP) in English Canada, and in Québec, the sovereigntist Parti Québécois (PQ), which had strong social democratic influences, at least in the mid-1970s though the early 1980s.
		Organizing: Canadian unions tend to approach organizing as a way of increasing the membership of their individual organizations, and not as part of a strategy to build the power of the class.
		It should be in the forefront of the struggle for democratic control by Canadians over our political and economic life in the face of the increasing integration with U.S. imperialism being relentlessly advanced by the dominant sectors of the Canadian capitalist class.

	Communist Party of Britain - for peace and socialism
		Britain's Communist Party has called for the maximum turn-out in the local elections to beat the fascist British National Party, for first preference votes for Ken Livingstone as Mayor, for support for Unity for Peace and Socialism and Communist candidates and for Labour wherever it will stop the election of Conservatives and Liberal Democrat controlled-councils.
		'This must be combined with a renewed struggle by the left and the trade union movement to defeat right-wing New Labour policies and restore Labour party democracy', the party's international secretary John Foster told the Communist Party political committee.
		Britain's communists are proposing a left wing programme for consideration by the labour and progressive movements.

	BREAKING: New Allegations Rock Canadian Labour Party, Judgeships Used As Rewards - Sean Hannity Discussion
		Benoît Corbeil, who served as executive director of the Liberal Party of Canada's Quebec wing in the late 1990s, told Radio-Canada that of the 20 or so lawyers who volunteered for the party during the 2000 federal election, some "seven or eight" were appointed to the judicial bench.

		In other words, political parties and candidates must be made to feel that people will vote for them or against them on the issues that affect their families, communities and workplaces.
		In 2008, the Canadian Labour Congress and its unions will campaign to move forward a series of issues that are important to working people, their families and their communities, with the view of putting them squarely on the election’s agenda – of making them vote-determining.
		In 2007, the Canadian Labour Congress and its unions succeeded in getting MPs and Senators to pass the Wage Earner Protection Program that puts workers unpaid wages and vacation pay ahead of the banks should their employers go bankrupt.

	Ginger Goodwin: Canadian Labour Martyr
		Many families tried to resist the evictions. The wives of the miners were particularly hard to deal with. The women of the town would surround the company's henchmen and poke at them with umbrellas. One woman refused to leave her seat and she was carried out, chair and all.
		He wrote for the Western Clarion, the paper of the Socialist Party of Canada. In a later letter to the SPC Ginger wrote:
		Ginger focused on his appeal process. In his final appeal Ginger gave up arguing on health matters and focused his appeal on agitation. He argued that no officials of labour should be taken to war; they were needed at home for benefit of the population. He signed his letter, "Fraternally for Socialism, Albert Goodwin".

	Canadian Labour Congress Conciliating with NATO's Aggression Against Yugoslavia
		The failure of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) to condemn the NATO war against Yugoslavia is disgraceful.
		The aim of the U.S. imperialist “human rights” campaign and that of the Canadian ruling class is to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign countries in the name of high ideals, so as to weaken them and bring them down.
		Canadian workers know that the more the bourgeoisie talks about “human rights” and “human security,” the more it resorts to aggression and intervention in defence of its “vital interests.” It also distances itself from the real sovereignty of the people and tramples their rights underfoot.
