Anarchism in Canada

Anarchism in Canada has been a historically marginal movement, initially being maintained by small, mostly immigrant groups. It briefly gained relevance with the rise of the Industrial Workers of the World in the 1910s and Les Automatistes in the 1940s. It experienced a revival during the late 20th century, agitating within the new social movements of the period, while the Squamish Five carried out a series of bombings. Contemporary Canadian anarchism has been involved in the indigenous land rights and anti-globalization movements, and has established projects throughout the country.
