Social Democratic Workers' Party of Canada (Canadian Republic)

The Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDWP; French: Parti social-démocrate des ouvriers, PSDO; Spanish: Partido Socialdemócrata de los Trabajadores, PSDT) is a social-democratic political party in Canada. The leader of the federal wing of the SDWP is David Suzuki, who was elected in the 2009 leadership election, and led the party through the 2015 federal election. Suzuki has been noted for his environmentalist policies in addition to the party's traditional support for workers' rights. In the 2005 election, the SDWP under Jack Layton won a minority government and formed a coalition with the Liberals. The coalition collapsed in 2007 due to infighting and an election was called, leading Portia Simpson-Miller's Liberals to victory.
