Profile
The Communist Party formed in 1921 as an illegal party due to its activist and revolution-inspired nature. It has continued over the decades as a party focused on labour rights and support of socialism. It is the second oldest active party since the Liberal Party of Canada.
The Communist Party has had candidates in many elections over its history but secured only one seat at the federal level in the 1945 election.
Since 2016, Elizabeth Rowley is the party’s current leader.
