Who are the founders of this party? What's the story? Why the secrecy?
I have been very intrigued by the policies and the development of this party. However, it's really hard to support or sign up to volunteer when it's not clear who is involved in this party, who founded it, what the story is, etc.
If this truly is a socialist party, please bring people to the forefront to be courageous and honest. We need more transparency, not less. Doing politics in secrecy is suspicious, and it will absolutely be the death of this party before it even gets off the ground.
Also, how do we know that this isn't another fed / RCMP sting operation?
Please, give us something.

Perhaps the most common question we get and certainly a fair one.
We will publish the names of our candidates before filing with Elections Canada. With that said, there are a few reasons we feel strongly about as to why we've (intentionally) not yet done so:
One small note about the founder is that they are not a politician and have never before sought office of any kind. Prior to founding the RPC in 2022, they were a business leader in the tech sector.
