  • TML Monthly Supplement
    No. 9 March 31, 2021 On the occasion of the 51st anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), as we close out our jubilee year, we send our warmest revolutionary greetings to all Party members across the country, to its supporters, friends and fellow-travellers. We greet the Canadian working class and people with whom for 51 years and more we have shared weal and woe, building the party of the working class in the course of participating in every mass movement without exception. It is also our honour on this occasion to express our warmest revolutionary greetings to all our fraternal comrades all over the world with whom we share the responsibilities which we have in common for the victory of our common cause. The involvement of Party members, our class and people and the support of fraternal comrades all over the world have made it possible to achieve the historic successes we are celebrating today. On this occasion, our deepest respects go to the memory of our founder and leader, our comrade 1 and friend, Hardial Bains. Comrade Bains spearheaded the founding of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) in Montreal 51 years ago. He united the advanced forces to set its line of march, to mobilize the broad masses and isolate the backward elements blocking society's path to progress. Comrade Bains provided the Party with its defining quality. The issue, he said, is not to wave the red flag but to show our colour through our deeds. This is expressed in the Party motto: The Party's Deed Is Its Word.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract The Sixties were time of conflict and change in Canada and beyond. Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Memorial Service for Comrade Hardial Bains
    MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR COMRADE HARDIAL BAINS The Marxist-Leninist Weekly, Organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), September 14-20, 1997. More than 550 people filled the hall at the Palais de Congres in Hull, Quebec where, on August 30, 1997 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) held a solemn memorial service for their dearly beloved leader, Comrade Hardial Bains, First Secretary of the Central Committee and National leader of the Party since its founding in March 1970. They came from all over Canada, from Britain, Ireland, Australia, India, the United States and several other countries to pay homage to this great personality and communist leader. The participation of so many comrades, friends and fellow-travellers spoke volumes about the qualities of this man who touched the lives of so many, from his earliest childhood days to the saddest day when, on August 24, 1997, he drew his last breath. Old friends and new and many, many fellow-travellers joined the members of the Party s Central Committee, the representatives of the Party organisations from across the country and Comrade Bains family in bidding Comrade Bains farewell. Besides his life-long companion, Sandra, and his six children, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces and their families, those in attendance included many from his childhood days in India, from his early years at the University of British Columbia and from his years as a teacher in Ireland. Along with his Party comrades and many friends representing each period of his life and struggle, many colleagues attended from political, academic and cultural fields, as did workers, women and representatives of some of the most vulnerable sections of Canadian society.

  • Maoist Performativities: Milton Acorn and the Canadian Liberation Movement
    Maoist Performativities: Milton Acorn and the Canadian Liberation Movement Vectors of the Radical: Global Consciousness, Textual Exchange, and the 1960s. Ed. Michael Sell. Works & Days 39/40, v. 20, 1-2 (Spring/Fall 2002): 97-118. Alan Filewod, University of Guelph If we Canadians, following the programme advocated by many, but most clearly by the Canadian Liberation Movement, seized the foreign-owned industries in our territory -- and if the principal foreign owner, the American Empire, launched military operations against us; What are the odds? Would we win? (Acorn 91) […] A people armed with a modern Marxist-Leninist ideology is invincible in a defensive war. (Acorn 102) This militant assertion of Canadian revolutionary valor may be fairly typical of the rhetoric of the New Left in Canada as it decomposed into sectarianism at the close of the 1960s, but it is remarkable because it is the thesis of an essay included in one of the best-selling volumes of poetry in Canadian publishing history.1 Milton Acorn’s 1972 collection, More Poems for People, sold some 10,000 copies in a country where the (statistically) average poetry volume sells less than 500.2 More Poems for People marked the high point of Maoist sentiment in the field of radical culture in Canada, not just because Milton Acorn was one of the most highly regarded Canadian poets, but because his relative celebrity legitimized the Canadian Liberation Movement, which existed primarily in the form of its publishing house, New Canada Press (also known as NC Press). As a member of the CLM, Acorn was the vindication of its strategy of popularizing the highly romanticized Maoism of a movement that after its collapse in 1976 was described by one critic, in language characteristic of the sectarian wars of the extreme left, as “a national chauvinist, social- fascist, absolutely degenerate organization” (Pickersgill 8).
