The Ex-Soldiers and Ex-Sailors Party of Manitoba was a political party aligned with reformist labour groups in Manitoba, Canada. In the provincial election of 1920, the party ran Samuel Cartwright as part of the ten-member labour list in Winnipeg. The list also included members of the Dominion Labour Party, Socialist Party of Canada and Social Democratic Party of Canada.
Cartwright was not successful in this election. He later joined the Independent Labour Party of Manitoba.
Famous quotes containing the word party:
“He said, truly, that the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause,—a kind of armor which he and his party never lacked. When the time came, few men were found willing to lay down their lives in defense of what they knew to be wrong; they did not like that this should be their last act in this world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
