| Description |
There was a time when left activists regarded the Nationalization of the banks, oil companies and other commanding heights of the Canadian economy as a minimum program for the development of a socialist party. This was back in the late 1960s and 1970s when those on the left of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Canadian labour movement strategized to have these movements adopt resolutions directed towards public ownership of the economy. Nationalization, at least for the "old" left during the immediate post-war period, was considered an honourable way to achieve public ownership of the means of production. It was thought that nationalization of certain industries and financial institutions together with the expansion of the welfare state were important steps along the way to challenging the power of capital and the hegemonic block.
