Abstract
In 1970, several members of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party (NDP) formed a New Left/Trotskyist group within the party known as the New Brunswick Waffle. The NB Waffle gained significant strength within the NB NDP, eventually securing a victory for its radical manifesto, "For a Socialist New Brunswick," at a party convention in September 1971. A dispute, however, erupted over the legality of this victory, which led to a two-month split within the party that required intervention on the part of the federal NDP. By the end of 1971 the NB Waffle had itself fractured and collapsed. Résumé En 1970, plusieurs membres du Nouveau Parti démocratique (NPD) du Nouveau-Brunswick formèrent un groupe trotskiste affilié à la Nouvelle Gauche au sein du parti, connu sous le nom de New Brunswick Waffle. Le NB Waffle acquit une force significative à l’intérieur du NPD néo-brunswickois, remportant éventuellement une victoire grâce à son manifeste For a Socialist New Brunswick lors d’un congrès du parti en septembre 1971. Une dispute éclata toutefois au sujet de la légalité de cette victoire et produisit une division dans le parti qui dura deux mois et qui nécessita l’intervention du NPD fédéral. À la fin de 1971, le NB Waffle s’était fragmenté et effondré.Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the author(s), with Acadiensis being granted a non-exclusive licence to each and every right in the work throughout the world.
