Socialism in Canada had its origin in Ontario, the industrial heart of the country. It came to the fore in the 1890s. The Socialist Labor Party, an offshoot of the SLP of the United States, appeared in the early 1890s, established several sections in the eastern provinces, in Winnipeg and Vancouver and contested elections after 1898 in Ontario constituencies.
