No commies, eh? Here is a quote for you. "Under McLaughlin, the party did manage to win an election in Quebec for the first time when Edmonston won a 1990 by-election. The party had briefly picked up its first Quebec MP in 1986, when Robert Toupin crossed the floor from the Tories after briefly sitting as an independent. However, he left the party in October 1987 after claiming Communists had infiltrated the party." -and- "At the height of the anti-Communist fervor of the "Cold War," the CCF passed the "Winnipeg Declaration" at their 1956 convention. This replaced the "Regina Manifesto" as the party's statement of basic aims and purposes. The Declaration dropped proposals for large-scale government ownership, stopped targeting capitalists as the enemy, and proposed an alliance of progressively minded farmers, workers and middle class people interested in greater equality in Canada. After being almost completely eliminated in federal politics after the Conservative sweep of 1958, the CCF convention endorsed co-operation with the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) in creating a new national party."
