Untitled[edit]

This article is factually incorrect. The Trekkers rode trains all the way to Regina, where they were stopped by the federal government -- the leaders of the Trek were then taken to Ottawa by train where they met with the Prime Minister, who refused to listen to their demands. The leaders were returned to Regina, where the tragedy occured

Looks like that's been addressed. I also added in the Commies - whatever people may think of the Communist Party, they were critical to how things shaped up in these event. True, unrest and protest would likely have happened regardless, but not in the same way and possibly not with the same consequences. This article could still use some polishing up.Bobanny 16:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

agitators?[edit]

I'm returning the term "agitators" to describe the Communists. It's not POV, since whether or not its viewed as pejorative depends on how you feel about what it describes, just as "communist" has a negative connotation for people opposed to communism. It's especially appropriate for this period, which the Communist Party considered an era of revolutionary working class upheaval. It's also how Communists thought of their own work; the term agitprop for example was coined by Communists in this period. Bobanny 21:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was just going to do the same thing. They considered themselves agitators, so I can't imagine it would be offensive to anyone. - TheMightyQuill 23:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many factual errors[edit]

I may put time into this in the future.. but it is unlikely.

It is impossible for the Regina Police and RCMP to be using MP-40s in 1935. The dates are ambiguous as to when they storm the square. It one occurrence (June 28th?) they also stormed out of the Regina Police Station rather than ice cream trucks (Waiser, 2003, 171). On June 30th, they may have meant furniture vans (177)

On June 30th the city police had 38-calibre guns.. whereas the RCMP made sure none of their members had sidearms when leaving the barracks (178) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.225.26.231 (talk) 04:13, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Motion to remove the Regina Riot section[edit]

As of right now, there are no citations in the Regina Riot section. I suggest this section be removed unless at least one or two sources can be added. I also suggest the Effects section be shortened unless another citation can be added. Listen1st (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
