Talk:League for Social Reconstruction

Lack of Publications
The article is rather light on publications. This seems strange as the impact of the LSR on Canadian social democracy is directly connected to ideas laid out in its main works. I'm considering laying out the table on contents to each book or perhaps creating separate articles for them, namely Social Planning for Canada and Democracy Needs Socialism with brief descriptions.Jkerr208 (talk) 19:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Neutrality of article
I'm flagging this article as biased and also marking the summary for needed citations. It puts an inordinate amount of credit on the LSR for the recovery from the depression without any consideration for other factors or policies. It also reads very much like socialist propaganda without sufficient room for evaluation. As an example:

"For the LSR, the Depression was the inexorable result of laissez-faire philosophy. This philosophy had spread since the Act of Union in 1840, which began a transition from power structures that favoured aristocracy to structures that favoured business. Responsible government arrived shortly after the union, and shifted influence from the governor to ministers. Powers that had previously been focused in the governor, became divided among ministers. No meaningful administrative structures were implemented to ensure that ministers remained responsive to the public, and ministers aligned themselves with capitalists."

 * Lots of problems with this article. I only fixed some citation issues as, if I remember correctly, it essentially didn't have any. Haven't really looked at the structure, but I think that may also be not great. Some of the citation issues in the lead section can be addressed by citations in the body of the article. Other issues require a rewrite. I don't have the time to fix this article until at least March, working on other articles in the meantime. Sad to see such an important Canadian intellectual movement having this mediocre article representing them.--Abebenjoe (talk) 07:33, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
