Candidates For Public Office
The Communist League has run candidates in some federal, provincial and municipal elections in Canada, most notably in Ontario and Quebec. They are fielding three candidates in the 2006 federal election, Beverly Bernardo in Parkdale—High Park, Michel Prairie in Toronto Centre and John Steele in Eglinton—Lawrence. As the Communist League has not registered as a political party with Elections Canada, their candidates are listed as "non-affiliated" on the ballot.

—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
