The British Columbia CCF's Working-Class
CONTROVERSY / POLÉMIQUE The British Columbia CCF’s Working-Class Moment: Socialism Not Populism James Naylor In August 1934, delegates of the Socialist Party of Canada, the dominant of the two affiliates to the British Columbia Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (bc/ccf), returning from the National Convention of the ccf in Winnipeg, lamented that “the Convention was far from being revolutionary, and tended further to the right.” The only bright spot on the horizon, they felt, was the small national youth movement that understood the necessity of “forg[ing] an instrument” capable of “the revolutionary transformation of our economic and social system.”1 Throughout the 1930s, the bc ccf was consid- ered nationally as the most left wing of the movement’s provincial sections, and the bc ccf itself considered itself to be responsible for providing a revo- lutionary and working-class anchor to a national movement that seemed, at times, to drift from its socialist moorings. And, for the most part, historians – most recently Benjamin Isitt – have acknowledged the bc ccf’s place on the left-wing of the Canadian movement in the 1930s and beyond.2 As Robert A.J. McDonald rightly argues, however, there was much in the day-to-day practice and language of the bc ccf that seemed to violate its own self-perception. Indeed, its actions appear not very different, for the most part, than other provincial ccf sections that engaged in socialist education and ran in elections. He argues that was most apparent in the ccf’s breakthrough pro- vincial election in 1933, which he sees as a “populist moment” wherein the 1. -

Deshaies Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Scott See and Dr. Jacques Ferland An Abstract of the Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (in History) December 2019 The Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) was one of the most influential political parties in Canadian history. Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State. -

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract The Sixties were time of conflict and change in Canada and beyond. Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics. -
Greg Marchildon Interviews Jordan Stanger-Ross
Zoom interview with Jordan Stanger-Ross, author of Landscape of Injustice: A New Perspective on the Internment and Dispossession of Japanese-Canadians (MQUP, 2020) Draft podcast script for 3 Dec. 2020 Welcome to this instalment of “Witness to Yesterday” the podcast of the Champlain Society. My name is Greg Marchildon and today, we are going to talk to Jordan Stanger-Ross about his new edited book on the internment of Japanese-Canadians during the Second World War. Jordan Stanger-Ross is an associate professor of history at the University of Victoria. He is also the Director of an initiative called Landscapes of Injustice, a seven-year research project dedicated to studying the mass displacement and uprooting and dispossession of 21,000 Japanese- Canadians from their homes in coastal British Columbia. Professor Stanger- Ross led the consortium of researchers produce a major volume. Entitled Landscape of Injustice: A New Perspective on the Internment and Dispossession of Japanese-Canadians, the volume examines what happened between 1942 when the internment began and 1949 when the restrictions on Japanese-Canadians were finally lifted. Jordan, welcome to Witness to Yesterday and thank you for joining us. • What are the origins of this collective project and this new book? • I know that this is a collected volume but I am always interested in what motivates an author to devote themselves for so long to one subject. You have devoted much of your academic life to the Landscapes of Injustice project. What brought you to this subject in the first place and why were you willing to invest so much time and energy in it? • What were the sources you relied upon in this project? • You and your colleagues posit that the origins of this internment policy long predated the Second World War, especially in British Columbia. -
The Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and Amateur Theatricals in 1930’S Vancouver, Bc
THE COOPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH FEDERATION AND AMATEUR THEATRICALS IN 1930’S VANCOUVER, BC by PATRICIA HEWS EVERETT-KABUT BA, Linfield College, 2007 MA, University of Arizona, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Theatre) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2016 © Patricia Hews Everett-Kabut, 2016 ABSTRACT This research investigates a collection of short one-act plays in the Arthur J. Turner Fonds held in the University of British Columbia Rare Books and Special Collections. These plays, written by Arthur J. Turner, Thorvald “Denny” Kristiansen and Hubert Evans in the mid 1930’s, formed part of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation’s broader social and propaganda efforts to educate and indoctrinate new members in the basic tenets of Socialism and the CCF platform. Like agitprop plays created elsewhere in Canada, Britain and the United States, dramatic groups within CCF clubs wrote and performed such plays as one of many means of legitimization for parties and movements of the Left along with other educational, social and political activities. For the CCF, a recently formed political party built by the merger of many disparate groups and cultures, solidifying their voting base and creating new centres for progressive culture, social gatherings, shared political vision and party solidarity was vital in the 1930’s to ensure the continued existence of the party as well as electoral success and political change. This research seeks to situate these plays amid their social, cultural, historical and political contexts to show that their emergence was a result of the unique set of circumstances created in the Depression-era and a manifestation of the larger global workers’ theatre movement. -
