Creation of Socialist Challenge
A number of ex-RWL members formed a number of groups under various names in cities across Canada such as the "Socialist Workers Committee" in Toronto. They regrouped as the "Alliance for Socialist Action" and, in 1988 adopted the name Socialist Challenge (after the name of their newspaper) as a result of an organizational fusion with the Quebec group Gauche Socialiste (the formal name of the group was Socialist Challenge/Gauche Socialiste).
Socialist Challenge was initially a sympathizing section of the reunified Fourth International but became the FI's official section in English Canada in the late 1980s after the RWL, now called the Communist League, left the FI.
