[edit] Communists to Liberals?

"Many ex-Communists joined the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and its successor, the New Democratic Party (NDP). Some joined the Liberals."

Any source to this, please? I believe it, I just need a source for my own writings! Thank you. :) Verged 02:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

They weren't communists if they joined a non-revolutionary party. There was no mass exodus of communists to join another party, im sure there are some people who quit the party and joined the other parties later on but like not as an organized movement. ComradeRyan

'The Communist Party is one of two Communist parties in Canada, the other is the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), founded in 1963 as the Internationalists, an anti-revisionist Maoist party rejecting the reforms of Nikita Khrushchev which today functions as a Stalinist party.'

Actually, there is also the Revolutionary Communist Party (Organizing Committees) but they don't consider themselves big enough and organized enough to be a party yet. --Mista-X 13:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

I can think of at least two more, Liberal and NDP FrankCostanza - Talk

There are plenty of Communist groups in Canada, but only the CPC and the MLPC are registered with Elections Canada.Carolynparrishfan 14:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Interparty affairs

As the author of the "2005 split" section, I should clarify the following:

(i) I am not privy to any confidential information concerning the Communist Party of Canada.

(ii) I did not leak any confidential information in this article. Someone else (and I have no idea who this "someone else" was) leaked an edited copy of Elizabeth Rowley's April 2005 letter concerning Andre Parizeau to the "Babble.ca" forum on May 23, 2005. I did not discover this letter until June 17, 2005, when I documented the split for Wikipedia. This information was available in the public domain for almost a full month before it appeared in this article.

(iii) I would not have revealed information about the Communist Party, or any other party, if I believed that the material in question was genuinely "confidential". Although Rowley's letter was not meant for public consumption, it was available on the web long before I discovered it.

(iv) I do not blame Communist Party officials for being irritated at Rowley's letter reaching the general public, but they should look elsewhere if they wish to assign blame. CJCurrie 01:44, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Whats with all this silly stalinist shit?

Serious guys grow up. The Encyclopedia is suppost to be as unbiased as possible, stop throwing around insults, people don't give two fucks what some trotskyists/anti-communist thinks of the CPC they just want some information.

We have an official party history writen up. SO if you want some real information check it out.
