The War Veterans Allowance(WVA) is a transfer payment program, which has been in effect since September 1, 1930. The program is a form of non-taxable financial assistance available to Canadian Veterans of World War I(WWI), World War II(WWII) and the Korean War. It also acts as a "window of access" to other programs(e. g., Veterans Independence Program, Assistance Fund) for recipients and "near-recipients"(individuals who would qualify, except they receive income through other income support programs). The purpose of WVA is to ensure that, in recognition of wartime service, eligible persons are provided with regular monthly income in order to meet their basic needs, and maintain dignity. 1, record 3, English, - War%20Veterans%20Allowance%20Program

Le Programme des allocations aux anciens combattants (AAC) est un programme de paiement de transfert en vigueur depuis le 1er septembre 1930. Il s'agit d'une forme d'aide financière non imposable offerte aux anciens combattants canadiens de la Première Guerre mondiale, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la guerre de Corée. Le Programme sert également de porte d'entrée vers d'autres programmes (p. ex. Programme pour l'autonomie des anciens combattants, Fonds de secours) pour les bénéficiaires et les quasi-bénéficiaires (personnes qui seraient autrement admissibles si elles ne recevaient pas un soutien du revenu d'autres programmes). Le Programme des allocations aux anciens combattants constitue une forme de reconnaissance aux personnes admissibles ayant servi en temps de guerre, pour s'assurer qu'elles reçoivent un revenu mensuel régulier leur permettant de satisfaire leurs besoins fondamentaux et de conserver leur dignité. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20des%20allocations%20aux%20anciens%20combattants

Le conseillisme ou communisme de conseils désigne une théorie ainsi qu'une pratique adoptées par différents mouvements politiques, de manières parfois contradictoires, au début du XXe siècle. L'origine et la référence de ces mouvements se trouvent, selon les luxemburgistes, dans les conseils ouvriers, de paysans ou de communes qui se sont créés en Russie («soviets») en 1905 et en 1917, en Allemagne lors de la Révolution de 1918-1919, en Italie avec l'expérience des conseils ouvriers de Turin (1919) et en Hongrie en 1956. Le communisme de conseils s'oppose donc au «communisme de parti». 2, record 4, French, - communisme%20de%20conseils
