File consists of correspondence, speeches, booklets, pamphlets, event flyers, statements, protest ephemera, contact information, meeting minutes and agenda, newspaper clippings, proposed resolutions, a book preview and essays on the Waffle, its socialist background and its perspectives on Canadian industry and academia. It includes letters and drafts from John Smart, one of the founders of the Waffle Movement, who asked for comments from the Waffle communications committee prior to submitting articles about division in the Ontario New Democratic Party (ONDP) and the 1972 federal election to newspapers. File also includes the following booklets: ‘A socialist program for Canadian trade unionists’ (c. 1970s), the ‘Constitution and Resolutions’ of the ONDP (c. 1970s), the Regina Manifesto (1933), and ‘For a Socialist Ontario in an Independent Socialist Canada’ (1970).
