Hardial Bains, August 15, 1939-August 24, 1997

Delegation Visits Party Memorial

August 24, 2011, marked the 14th anniversary of the death of Comrade Hardial Bains, the founder and leader of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). On this occasion, a  delegation comprised of representatives of the Central Committee, the Ottawa-Gatineau and  Quebec Committee of the Party and the Party youth organization gathered at the Party Memorial in the name of all Party comrades, sympathizers and friends, to pay solemn homage to Comrade Bains.

Today, when U.S. imperialism and its hangmen are committing unprecedented crimes against humanity, with the full participation of the Harper government, and when the monopoly bourgeoisie is dismantling Canada by eliminating all the gains obtained by the tenacious struggle of the working class and people for more than one hundred years, the building of the Mass Communist Party assumes even greater importance. Only by developing the Party's leading role can the working class and people stop reaction and contribute to changing the situation in a manner which favours them and the working and oppressed peoples around the world.

The comrades of the Party youth organization have been entrusted with looking after the monument and the revolutionary movement it celebrates which is dedicated to the life and work of Comrade Bains and the contribution of the many other comrades whose names are inscribed on it. This monument represents this contribution which personifies the spirit of the Party, the spirit of Marxism-Leninism and the political movement led by the Party in Canada on this basis for more than 40 years. As the words inscribed on the monument point out: "The Issue is Not to Wave the Red Flag But to Show Our Colours Through Our Deeds."

The youth reaffirmed: "On this sad occasion of the 14th anniversary of the death of Comrade Bains, we pledge to always work harder to make the Party's word its deed and to lead the working class and people to realize the work required to open society's path  to progress."

Comrade Bains said: "We will march together and achieve the tasks which we have set for the present time. Watch us -- we will win!"

"Comrade Bains, you are the red of our flag. Your deeds and work live in us. Long Live CPC(M-L)!"
