Labour candidates and parties in Canada

Canada's political labour movement gradually grew from running independent labour-oriented local candidates (usually unsuccessfully), to founding provincial labour parties or socialist-inclined labour parties such as BC's Nationalist Party and the Socialist Party of Canada, finally to a couple nation-wide parties expressing positions positive toward labour interests. During that process, from the 1870s until the 1960s various groups in Canada nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party, Dominion Labor Party, or other variations.
