Title
Stalin's Man in Canada: Fred Rose and Soviet Espionage
Abstract
The Polish-born Fred Rose (1907-1983), a Montreal union organizer, was elected to the House of Commons as a Labour Progressive in a 1943 by-election in the riding of Montreal-Cartier. He was re-elected in 1945, the only M.P. elected as a communist in Canadian history. In 1946, Rose was arrested in the first Cold War spy trials and sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for communicating official secrets to a foreign power (the Soviet Union). In 1953 he moved to Czechoslovakia and later returned to Poland to live.
