First and only Communist MP?
Here is another inconsistency you might want to look into, as Dorise Nielsen is - according to her article, the first Communist MP elected in Canada (not Fred Rose). The question is, why have your sources overlooked her? [ETA: I suppose it may be the case that she wasn't openly a Communist at the time] -- Earl Andrew - talk 16:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've corrected the article. The "first communist MP" statement came from Callwood 1984 (page 103). I would guess Nielsen was overlooked since, as you noted, she was not openly communist at the time (or perhaps it was an error; after all, Callwood did not have the benefit of Wikipedia in 1984). After double-checking the sources, the "only communist MP" statement appears to be an error on my part (I misread "the only MP elected as a communist in Canadian history" to mean "the only communist MP ever elected in Canadian history").
