People's Voice

People's Voice is a Canadian English-language newspaper published fortnightly by New Labour Press Ltd. The paper's editorial line reflects the viewpoints of the Communist Party of Canada, although it also runs articles by other left-wing voices.

Produced in Vancouver and printed at a union press in Montreal, People's Voice contains news and editorial content related to Canadian and international political issues of government, social movements, and class struggle. It claims "we've got the news the corporate media won't print."

Progressive, socialist and trade union newspapers have a long history in Canada, going back to the 19th century. Throughout this history of the socialist and communist press, newspapers have been closed down, restarted, and had many name changes. The development of the "red press" is therefore more complex than normal.

Various Canadian publications printed translations of Marx, Engels and other radicals and revolutionaries. Many of these publications were attached to local labour movements or ethnic groups. But there was no all-Canada, English-speaking left-wing press until the Communist Party of Canada was founded in 1921 and the decision was made to publish a newspaper.

In 1922, The Communist was the first attempt, and was an underground publication that was harassed by the police. The paper never got off the ground and closed after only a few issues. The first successful and legal paper was launched on March 15, 1922, as a broadsheet named The Worker. During the 1930s the paper was renamed The Clarion.
