He was a candidate for the
Communist Party of Canada in the
working-class riding of
Cartier, in the
Montreal area in the
1935 federal election, coming in second with 16.28% of the votes. He ran in the
1936 Quebec general election in the riding of
Montréal–Saint-Louis for the
Communist Party of Quebec and came in third, at 16.8%.
In the early stages of
World War II, the
Communist Party of Canada was formally banned, and many of its leaders interned by[
clarification needed] the
Padlock Law.
[5] After a major public campaign, the party was legally reorganized as the
Labor-Progressive Party.
Rose ran as an Labor-Progressive candidate in a 1943
by-election in the federal riding of Cartier.
[2] He won with 30% of the vote in a tight four-way race, beating
David Lewis of the
social democratic Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and two others. He was the first Communist Party MP elected in Canada -and the only one up to this time.
Rose was re-elected in the
1945 election with 40% of the vote. Most of the riding's immigrant Jewish population voted for Rose, who benefitted from the perception that the
Soviet Union was the main hope for saving
Europe's Jews from
Hitler. Rose's main rival, Paul Massé, of the antiwar
Bloc Populaire, who came second, was supported by most French-Canadians.
As a Member of Parliament, Rose proposed the first federal
medicare legislation
[1] and the first
anti-hate legislation.
