  • Hegemony Secured: Social Credit and the Crippling of the Alberta Left, 1935- 1971
    Hegemony Secured: Social Credit and the Crippling of the Alberta Left, 1935- 1971 Mack Penner HIST 4995: Undergraduate Thesis Supervisors: Dr. Kristine Alexander, Dr. Lynn Kennedy April 19, 2017 1 Introduction Even after the election of a New Democratic Party (NDP) government in 2015, both scholarly and non-scholarly narratives about Alberta’s political culture often exclusively emphasize an intransigent and long-standing tradition of conservatism. Alberta is spoken of as a place with a “distinctly conservative political character” where successful political campaigns speak to favoured conservative themes of laissez-faire economics, individualism, and provincial autonomy.1 These types of assessments, which focus on the second half of the twentieth century, often obscure the reality that there once did exist a flourishing reformist, and even radical, political culture in the province. Indeed, during the 1920s and 30s Alberta was the site of a number of remarkable movements and moments in Canadian left history. Most notable among these were the election and governance of the United Farmers of Alberta from 1921 to 1935, the founding of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in Calgary in 1932, and the election of Canada’s first Communist town council in Blairmore in 1933. That these sorts of seminal moments in the history of Canadian leftism occurred in the province of Alberta suggests that historian Alvin Finkel may even be understating matters when he claims that, “Alberta’s political culture before 1935 did not crowd out left-wing forces.”2 Leftist organizations of various types had a real and sizeable appeal for large numbers of Albertans of this era.3 However, in the period from 1935 to 1971, the political culture in Alberta changed drastically.
