Home > Manifesto for an Independent Socialist Canada


 

The Manifesto for an Independent Socialist Canada was a document drafted by a far- left faction of the New Democratic Party, known as the Waffle, in 1969 . When that group briefly left the NDP between 1972 and 1974, it became their party's main dogma.

The Manifesto for an Independent Socialist Canada is also known as the Waffle Resolution. It outlined the Waffle's deep resentment for the "American Empire," and their organization's commitment to furthering the socialist cause in Canada within the template of a successful democracy.

After 1974, when the Waffle's party, Movement for an Independent Socialist Canada, disbanded, the Manifesto for an Independent Socialist Canada became nothing more than a historical document that would later inspire the NDP's Socialist Caucus to draft the Manifesto for a Socialist Canada.
