The Communist Party of Canada is a communist party in Canada, founded in 1921 under conditions of illegality. Although it is now a federal political party without any parliamentary representation, the party's candidates have been elected to the Parliament of Canada, the Ontario legislature, the Manitoba legislature, and various municipal governments across the country. The party has also contributed significantly to trade union organizing and labour history in Canada, peace and anti-war activism, and many other social movements. The Communist Party of Canada is the second oldest active party after the Liberal Party of Canada. In 1993 the party was de-registered and had its assets seized, forcing it to begin what would be a successful thirteen-year political and legal battle to maintain the registration of small political parties in Canada. The campaign culminated with the final decision of Figueroa v. Canada (AG), changing the legal definition of a political party in Canada.

 * Coordinator comment Isn't the beginning a little ... duplicative? Is it necessary to state that the Communist Party of Canada is a communist party of Canada? Given the limited space we have in blurbs, can you use that space for other information?--Wehwalt (talk) 21:38, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
