	Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - New Democratic Party (NDP)
		Until a few days into the election, the party also had an "Issues" page that set's out the party's (much more frankly-worded) stance on issues ranging from taxation to gays and lesbians (some text remains, but the page is incomplete or in the process of being removed as of May 25, 2004).
		The New Democratic Party is proud to be associated with the democratic socialist parties of the world and to share the struggle for peace, international co-operation and the abolition of poverty."
		Like the Communist Party of Canada, it opposes profit and supports government ownership of capital (it calls government ownership "social ownership", which has a friendlier ring to it).

	The Socialist Viewpoint
		That there is a need for a new political party in Canada is established in none of the vast amount of written and spoken statements issued in its behalf since the party was first proposed.
		The fact is that the New Democratic Party is simply the CCF with a new name and trade union support on a larger scale than formerly.
		Their success was complete among the delegates to the new party convention where there was no recognition of the class division in society, which undoubtedly accounts for the extensive, undistorted TV, radio and press coverage received by the convention and the careful, even respectful, reproduction of Mr.

		I think what it says first is, to the women in the New Democratic Party who have done a lot of the work, that they are really accepted as equals and that we want to build bridges to the women's movement.
		I think it said something that the social democratic party was the first party to elect a woman as a national leader....
		The sort of social consensus that we had in Canada that recognized private enterprise and public enterprise as an important social safety net is really coming apart because the corporations and the government are trying to operate the country as if it was a corporation and move to the corporate bottom line.

		Parties that had candidates standing for election in each electoral district could spend as much as C$17.5 million ($14.7 million) in the June 2004 election, C$4.8 million more than the campaign spending limit in 2000.

		At 46, Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper is the youngest of the leaders of the main parties.

	Talk:Conservative Party of Canada - SourceWatch
		Meanwhile, the Liberal Party of Canada is going for the same "big tent hegemony" image as the Democratic Party always has, and trying to cast itself as the "least worst" by comparison to the Conservatives, just as the Democrats always by demonizing Republicans.
		In both countries, the Greens (and in Canada also the New Democratic Party of Canada) are sidelined at election time by the bogus debates that these big parties stage against each other, defining their own issues by a sort of polite refusel to talk about anything important.
		Since the formation of the party, the spin around Stephen Harper, whether this is really the Canadian Alliance in disguise, association with views of David Frum (and by extension Perle), and Joe Clark's loud noise against the new party, has actually turned into even more of a disinformation exercise.

	Mapleleafweb.com: Party Leader Biography - Jack Layton
		His father, Robert Layton, was an activist in the Liberal Party of Canada during the 1960s and 1970s, before joining the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in the 1980s.
		Upon assuming the leadership of the Party, Layton did not immediately seek election to the House of Commons, instead, waiting until the 2004 general election, when he won a seat for the riding of Toronto-Danforth in a hotly contested battle against long-time Liberal incumbent, and former political foe, Dennis Mills.
		The Party, for example, fought for the protection of workers and farmers in the economy, and the provision of basic social services to the working classes, such as education and health care.

	NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY - THE BLIND ALLEY OF REFORMS
		Thirty-seven years ago, the Socialist Party of Canada pointed out the anti-Socialist nature of the NDP (known then as the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation), by referring particularly to the first paragraph of that party's Regina Manifesto, a paragraph which, to the politically uninformed, sounded more socialistic than any other part of its inaugural statement.
		If this reform party's way of running capitalism had been different, or basically beneficial to the majority at least, there is no reason why it should not still be manning the political bastions in that province.
		Thirty-seven years ago, the Socialist Party of Canada, while explaining that the CCF was not Socialist, emphasized that a party for the working class must be made up of leaderless workers who understand capitalism and therefore know what has to be done to solve the wrongs in society.

		One part of those democratic principles is that if a politician or party lies to me, cheats me, steals from me, or otherwise angers me I am permitted within five years to throw them out.
		Such tight ties between one of the major checks built into our democratic system and the government is neither prudent nor principled, but such is the plight we have allowed ourselves to fall into.
