Canadian Revolutionary Congress
In late November 2006 the Revolutionary Communist Party (Organizing Committees) held a national congress which saw nearly 100 members and supporters from across Canada participate. This congress is seen as a critically important milestone for the Party. Several supporting committees and organizations made speeches at the congress, including activists from as far west as Manitoba. In addition, a variety of international organizations and parties sent messages of solidarity, including the Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (CoRIM), the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan, the Communist Workers Union of Colombia, Marxist-Leninist Revolutionaries of Iraq, the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist), and the Communist Party of the Philippines. All were messages of support, urging the RCP to develop the revolutionary situation in Canada while maintaining a proper critical outlook on the historical conditions of past and present communist movements.
In addition to the various messages received from external organizations, the RCP(OC) introduced several resolutions for popular vote on the assembly floor. The four resolutions were:
- Resolution to support the founding of the Revolutionary Communist Party
- Resolution to support the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement
- Resolution to support the revolutionary struggle in Nepal
- Resolution to hold a second Canadian Revolutionary Congress in Toronto
All resolutions were passed unanimously.

“We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.”
—John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)
“The veto is a President’s Constitutional right, given to him by the drafters of the Constitution because they wanted it as a check against irresponsible Congressional action. The veto forces Congress to take another look at legislation that has been passed. I think this is a responsible tool for a president of the United States, and I have sought to use it responsibly.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
