Jiffles1: Here is another inconsistency you might want to look into, as
Dorise Nielsen is - according to her article, the first Communist MP elected in Canada (not Fred Rose). The question is, why have your sources overlooked her? [ETA: I suppose it may be the case that she wasn't openly a Communist at the time] --

Thanks, I've corrected the article. The "first communist MP" statement came from Callwood 1984 (page 103). I would guess Nielsen was overlooked since, as you noted, she was not openly communist at the time (or perhaps it was an error; after all, Callwood did not have the benefit of Wikipedia in 1984). After double-checking the sources, the "only communist MP" statement appears to be an error on my part (I misread "the only MP elected as a communist in Canadian history" to mean "the only communist MP ever elected in Canadian history").

Comment: The article was expanded 5 fold since December by User:Jifflers1, with its most recent expansion on the 20th.
Offline source. Approve ALT1 as cited inline, but ALT0 struck out for now as I do not see the red scare statement mentioned and cited inline (outside the lead, which is not cited inline). ALT1 is more hooky anyway. Earwig flagged a 43%, but that's due to a quoted sentence and a particularly long commission name. Sufficient expansion and referencing otherwise, QPQ not needed as this is
Earl Andrew's first DYK. Good to go.
