By the way, regarding Canada's Communist Party...there's one exception which I overlooked in my post above, and it occurred 60 years ago:
When the Communist Party of Canada was banned in 1941, it refounded itself as the Labour-Progressive Party (LLP). Only one LPP Member of Parliament (MP) was elected under that banner, Fred Rose, who was elected in a 1943 by-election in Montreal and sat in the House of Commons. In 1947, he was charged and convicted for spying for the Soviet Union, and was expelled from the House of Commons.
