Something useful to say? --Alexwcovington 06:25, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Whatcha talking about?--Lucky13pjn 15:32, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

I dunno. I learned a bit about the strike in a Canadian history class I took at the University of North Dakota. It's a decent article overall, but I think there could be more depth. --Alexwcovington 18:44, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Then by all means, write away. You probably know more about the strike than I do, which is sad considering I am Canadian. ;)--Lucky13pjn 23:08, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

The small section about the One Big Union in this artical is a bit misleading as the One Big Union was not organized until after the general strike was over. Therefore, historians generally agree that the One Big Union did not influence the general strike. 12:49, March 13, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Numbers for deaths & injuries on Bloody Saturday

I have looked at a couple of sources, including Canadian History for Dummies and the Canadian Museum of Civilization website and I can not find a reference that 94 were injured. Where did this number come from? I will update the stats to reflect what I have been able to find. -- JamesTeterenko 04:20, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wasn't there a Winnipeg Manifesto?

Or "something"; I remember one of our diehard NDPer schoolteachers talking about strike, and that there was a manifesto or constitution or something, published in several languages, implying the potential creation of a worker's republic. I know this must have been a fringe element only, judging by the article overleaf, but I'm curious as to which languages and what was in it. On the other hand, there's lots of bowdlerized/toned-down Canadian history all over Wiki...or was this teacher just raving in technicolour?Skookum1 16:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
