Created in 1932 in Calgary, Alberta It was created by a number of socialists, farm, corporative and labor groups, and the league for social reconstruction It aimed to lessen the great depression through public corporation and social reform In 1933, the party went to Regina where they elected James Shaver Woodsworth as its first president The party set out its goals when they adopted the Regina Manifesto. One of their goals were to create a mixed economy by Nationalization They planned Nationalization of key industries and establishing a Welfare State It would include: universal pensions, health and welfare insurance, children's allowances, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation and similar programs J.S Woodsworth

It gained support from Ontario, British Colombia and Saskatchewan and triumphed the election of a CCF government in Saskatchewan in 1944 The pressure from the CCF encouraged Mackenzie King’s Liberal government to provide social welfare measures The party leaders: i.J.S Woodsworth - August 1, 1932 - March 21, 1942 ii.Major Coldwell - March 22, 1942 - August 10, 1960 iii.Hazen Argue - August 11, 1960 - August 2, 1961 Unfortunately, during the cold war the CCF was accused of having communist, dictatorial leadings The party addressed these accusation in 1956 by replacing the Regina Manifesto document with the “Winnipeg Declaration” The party did very weakly in the election of 1958. It won only eight seats

The background is the flag for ‘the red scare’ where the hammer and the sickle symbolize the unification of the workers and the peasants. The star represents the communist party The First red scare took place in 1917-1920, and was marked by a widespread fear of anarchism and communism Tensions were elevated due to violence by various groups inspired by the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and the ensuing Russian Civil War In 1919, a plot was set up to send 36 bombs to a variety of places. On June 2 nd, bombs exploded in eight different cities within the same hour The common view was that communists were planning to overthrow democracy. The ‘Red scare’ was the threat against the capitalists

William Aberhart “Bible Bill” William Aberhart was also known as “Bible Bill” for his religious preaching, Aberhart became interested in politics during the Great Depression He was interested in the “social credit” theories of Major C.H Douglas, a Scottish engineer. From 1932 to 1935, Aberhart lobbied for the governing political party, the United Farmers of Alberta, to discuss these theories The meaning of social credit is that the difference in production cost and individuals' purchasing power should be attached through government grants.

William Aberhart established the Social Credit Party of Alberta in 1935 He promised each citizen a “prosperity certificate” of $25 a month to buy necessities His government was not able to apply most of their rules, because the social credit concept relied on control of the money supply and of the banks, both of which were the responsibility of the federal government of Canada Social Credit Party of Alberta
