Later that year, the Communist Party, re-constituted as the Labor-Progressive Party, published Ryerson's "French Canada: A Study in Canadian Democracy". Within the pages of "French Canada", Ryerson set out his vision of their continuous fight for freedom in the face of colonial servitude. He also emphasised the common aims of French and English Canadians in the pursuit of freedom in the capitalist and colonial systems. Although researched and mostly written while Ryerson was occupied with the direction of the underground party, "French Canada" was a careful and provocative analysis of Quebec's social and political history.
