Those actions against the party are virtually the same as the majority of countries had in that period.

Those events had more or less nothing to do with communism.

The general strike led to the farmers' movement, the rise of the Progressives, and the start of the movements that led to the founding of the CCF.

Bennett had absolutely nothing to do with the strike, nor was he in anything remotely near a position that he could have had any role in it.

The On-to-Ottawa-Trek also had more or less nothing to do with communism, or, really, even the labor movement. It was a protest against the criminal conditions in the labor camps. Nothing more.
