I have a comrade up in Montreal looking to join an ML party and they're having trouble finding a group that isn't Trotsky-ist. Would anyone be able to provide some perspective and advice around the landscape of ML parties in Canada more broadly and Quebec in particular. Thanks!

The CPC local in my area moves at a glacial pace, with no plans to expand or take hold of the current moment, at least from what I've seen. I don't think they're a good representation for an ML group, or they'd be more inclined to work with other ML groups, like the one I'm part of.

Edit - though I suppose officially recognized parties are subject to different rules. But to me that just means that focusing on growing before attaching yourself to the apparatus is a better idea.

yea

It suffers a lot from being mostly old people. The YCL is doing better, and the younger CPCers are often great, but yeah its tedious
