Waffle - Post-Orillia and Riverdale Resolutions

File consists of statements, proposals, discussion papers, newspaper clippings and agendas related to the Waffle Movement after the Orillia and Riverdale Resolutions of the New Democratic Party (NDP) Caucus. The Riverdale resolution gave the Waffle four options: one: dissolution, two: formal establishment of the Waffle as an independent socialist movement, three: the Waffle operates as an extra-parliamentary movement and is no longer a political party and four: NDP membership is removed as a pre-requisite for joining the Waffle. Many of the papers submitted by Waffle members cite the need for self-reflection at the events and party politics that led to division with the NDP and amongst Wafflers themselves, the need to find a new direction after the Riverdale Resolution, and the need to have open conferences so that all Wafflers are given a sense of active participation, rather than restrict conferences to delegation-led discussion. Some Wafflers argue for a ‘fifth option,’ in which the Waffle remains a caucus within the NDP caucus and continues as a socialist and nationalist group. The resolution reached by Waffle delegates was to cease its operations as a political party and move forward as a movement for an independent socialist Canada. The resolution reached by Wafflers opposing this decision chose the ‘fifth option,’ which supported staying within the caucus and pushing the NDP to adopt more left wing ideas. Prepas (Trinity), George Gilks (Hamilton West), Jim Laxer (York East) and Mel Watkins (Parkdale) write to the Waffler base, indicating their intention to resign from their NDP candidacies prior to the 1972 federal election, with Prepas and Watkins formally submitting their resignation from their candidacies.
