Another example of User:Michaelm's campaign to plaster the "social democratic" label all over Wikipedia. If he had bothered to do research on the organization, say by checking the website linked at the bottom of the article, he would have found this:

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is an independent, non-partisan research institute concerned with issues of social and economic justice. Founded in 1980, the CCPA is one of Canada’s leading progressive voices in public policy debates.

Notice how it says "progressive", and not "social democratic"? Kevintoronto 15:04, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Those guys are decidedly on the Left, they said it. Non-partisan only means not linked to a party, not politicaly neutral.

Depends what you mean by "Left." The CCPA follows Keynesian theories on economics which are centrist; they seek a compromise between the Left and Right. But today Keynes would probably be labled a Leftist, if not directly called "socialist" or "communist." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.31.118 (talk) 16:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
