  Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - Socialist Party of Canada
The Socialist Party of Canada favours rule by the vote of the majority (i.e., "majority rule"), effectively saying that a system with a leader is incompatible with majority rule.
The Socialist Party is a companion party of the World Socialist Movement ("WSM"), which began with the founding of the Socialist Party of Great Britain in 1904.
It is strongly opposed to working with any other political parties, viewing virtually no other party as a socialist party: the WSM takes the position that history has shown other parties never to replace capitalism with socialism (as the WSM defines that term).

 ESR | January 20, 2003 | Canada's socialist "third party": The NDP's influence in Canada
The Canadian New Democratic Party (NDP) is now engaged in a federal-level leadership selection process and period of major renewal (after the resignation of federal leader Alexa McDonough in mid-2002) where different options are being considered for the future of the party.
George Parkin Grant, Canada's leading traditionalist philosopher, wrote "...the directors of General Motors and the followers of Professor Marcuse sail down the same river in different boats." Both current-day capitalism and left-liberalism are seen as equally hostile to the notions of true community and true nationhood.
Regardless of today's apparent return of fiscal or economic conservatism in Canada, the NDP has been able to fundamentally transform the social and cultural ideas and policies of the Liberal Party and most of the P.C. Party (and thereby of most of the country) away from social conservatism.

 The Ross Dowson Resource Archives speech   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
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.
These socialists who opposed vigorously the motion for a labor party, considered that that motion was a motion to set up a reform party - a party of Liberal-labor reform.
He was the theoretical leader of the Communist Party of Canada and subsequently the founder of the Trotskyist movement.

 The Feminist Challenge to the Canadian Left, 1900-1918. by Helen Harrison   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
She argues that socialist feminists 'framed their own political mobilization in a way that reflected the realities and experiences of their lives.' In this way, they 'accepted maternal feminism and turned it to radical ends, making the home a primary site for radical socialist transformation' (10).
Given that socialist campaign literature encouraged workers to associate socialism with a reinvigorated masculinity, and capitalism with emasculated manhood, it is not surprising that women had difficulty finding support for an agenda that linked women's issues to socialism.
Thus, Newton concludes that in confronting issues of class and gender oppression, socialist feminists were both more rigorous in their analysis and more radical in their solutions than either the mainstream feminists or the socialist party élites.

Once terrified of the radicalism of the Socialist Party of Canada now they were terrified of the rising popularity of the Communist Party, especially its mass organizing of the unemployed and farmers during the depression.
It is not socialist workers that are floundering with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the cry of 'debt and deficit'.
The party as a whole is terrified of the growth in coalitions and the extra parliamentary opposition that seems intent on embracing the party once it does gain power.
