Talk:History of the New Democratic Party

CCF and Progressive Parties

Almost nothing is said of these parties. They were NDP predecessors shouldn't they have a brief history given? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.73.81.10 (talk) 06:32, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I'm suggesting that New Party (Canada) be merged into this article. It is noteworthy as an historical footnote only. "New Party" was an interim name that had no lasting significance, other than as a precursor to the NDP, and ran only two candidates under that banner, in a pair of byelections.

• Support. Anyone looking for an article on that term will be looking for the history of the NDP and the context this article brings. DoubleBlue (Talk) 05:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Socialism or social democracy?

In response to the note on the main page, the CCF was already clearly a social democratic party. The ideology of the N.D.P. was also social democratic. There is little to discuss.

Orphaned references in History of the New Democratic Party

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of the New Democratic Party's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "natpost":

• From 2017 New Democratic Party leadership election: Gerson, Jen (April 10, 2016). "Tom Mulcair loses NDP leadership vote as his party makes a Leap to the left". National Post. Archived from the original on May 7, 2016. Retrieved April 10, 2016.
• From Tom Mulcair: "NDP votes 52% in favour of holding leadership race: Thomas Mulcair is out". National Post, April 10, 2016.
• From Jean Chrétien: "Jean Chrétien in good spirits after emergency brain surgery". National Post. August 7, 2010. Retrieved February 17, 2021.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:29, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Pizza structures?

I’m not Canadian, so I may probably be missing something here—but what is the reference to the ‘pizza structures’? JJLiu112 (talk) 01:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Just some vandalism that went unnoticed on a not-well-trafficked page. Thanks for catching it, I've removed it. — Kawnhr (talk) 02:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
