Talk:Labor-Progressive Party

message: The article is currently titled "Labour-Progressive Party" and refers to
the party by that name; "Labor-Progressive Party" is a redirect.  However,
if you look at the Globe and Mail for April 9, 1954, on page 8, you
will see an advertisement placed by the party (vilifying the US for testing
H-bombs and advocating an international ban on the things), with the party's
name given as "LABOR-PROGRESSIVE PARTY".
At the time the Globe's style policy was that the word was spelled "labor",
so if the party was mentioned in an article, they might choose to spell
it "Labor-Progressive" even if "Labour-Progressive" was its actual name.
But I would expect the spelling in an advertisement to be whatever
the advertiser wanted -- although that might not hold if the typesetting
for the ad was also done by the newspaper's staff.
Conversely, the sources relied on by whoever created the Wikipedia article
might have used "Labour-Progressive", on the assumption that that was proper
Canadian spelling, even if "Labor-Progressive" was the party's actual name.
I've never seen anything else written by the party except this one old ad,
so I certainly don't know what's the correct spelling, or if they used both
spellings.  But I hope someone has a reliable source to check.  --208.76.104.133 (talk) 05:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Labor-Progressive Party →  – This party is mentioned by the Parliament of Canada's website as being the Labour Progressive Party (pop-up when you click LPP link), no n-dash and with the characteristic Canadian u in labour. FUNgus guy (talk) 03:51, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

The Parliamentary website is wrong. In fact, the LPP always rendered its name as "Labor-Progressive Party" as evidenced by the following archival material: http://www.socialisthistory.ca/Docs/CPC/LPP-Program44.htm and in particular the cover image at http://www.socialisthistory.ca/Docs/CPC/LPP44-Cover1.jpg, this poster http://www.archivespolitiquesduquebec.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/1945-fred-rose.jpg , here: http://www.ovieuxbouquins.com/images/livres/4009.jpg 147.194.27.15 (talk) 21:49, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
