This paper reassesses Alford's comparative analyses of class voting in Canada and the United States and updates them to 1976. It is argued that Alford's finding that the class vote in Canada is substantially lower than that in the United States is an artifact of his classification scheme, which incorrectly superimposes the American party structure on Canadian political parties. When Canadian political parties are classified according to the major party/third party division which more accurately reflects the realities of the ``democratic class struggle'' in Canada and when the correct techniques for measuring class voting are applied, it is shown that class voting in the two countries is virtually identical. It is not the level of class voting which distinguishes the two societies but rather the differential manner in which the democratic class struggle in each has been organized as a result of their different electoral systems.
