P iii Introduction Angus MacTnnia, 1884—1964 Angus Maclnnis was born in 1884 at Glen Williams on Prince Edward Islnnd. Gaelic was spoken in his home and he did not learn English until attending school. Upon his arrival in Vancouver in 1908, Angus found a • job driving a milk wagon seven days a weeks !ISro years later he obtained employment with B.C. Electric,-as a streetcar conductor. Active in his union, he soon became business, agent for the Street and Railway union. • Though born a Tory, Angus became a socialist upon viewing the injustices of the 1911 Nsnmimo coal strike. In 1918 he became a member of the Federated Labor Party, and later joingd~the Independent labor Party. He entered civic politics in 1922, winning a School Board seat for two years. lie sat as an alderman on the City Council from 1926 until 1930. His attempts at the Provincial Legislature in 1924 and 1928 were unsuccessful. In 1930, Angus was elected to Parliament as a member of the Independent Labor Party for the— tiding of Vancouver South. While in Ottawa Angus met Grace Woodsworth, daughter of his parliamen~~~ leader 3.3. Woodsworth. They were married in 1932. Angus was involved in another marriage in that period—a political one. Re was one of the two B.C • delegates to the Calgary Conference in 1932, where farmer, labor, and social ist interests met. He took an even higher profile the next year, 1933, when the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation was officially formed in Regina:. Once elected to Parliament, Angus proved unbeatable, being re—elected in 1935, 1940, 1949, and 1953. He sat on the CCF National Execu.tifl lrom 1933—1950. Angus had a great interest in international affairs. With Grace he toured Europe in 1936 in order to investigate, the work of socialist parties and cooperative movements. In 1944 he was the COP representative in a four— member delegation which visited Australia and’New Zealand under the auspices of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. In 1947 he went,as a parlia mentary advisor to the Canadian delegation, to the United Nations. In 1950 he travelled to Geneva for the annual conference of the International Labor Organisation, acting as an advisor to the Canadian Government delegates. r -: After serving the people of Vancouver South, Vancouver Kingaway, Van— couver, East, and Canada, Angus retired in 1957. He. died’ seven years later on March 2, 1964. His causes were many: the unemployed, veterans, pensioners, racial minorities, and the poor. Perhaps for -what he will be remembered most was his absolutël~ - fearless stand on the Japanese—Canadisn situation during the Second World War. Amidst the destructive hysteria, Angus stood tall with his principles of equality and justice. For his courageous work in this area the ‘U.B.C. Civil Liberties Union presented him with the Garnett Sedgewick Award. Other honours bestowed include an Bonourary Doctor of Laws from U.B.C. He joins a select few in history as being a man admired by both - his friends and political foes. Angus Maclnnis: a man to remember indeed.

    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.

    Japan and the United Nations Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan Japan's Contribution to the International Community at the UN Foundation of the UN and Japan's Accession to the UN The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945 under the pledge to prevent the recurrence of war. Eleven years later, in 1956, Japan joined the UN as its 80th member. Since its accession, Japan has contributed to a diversity of fields in UN settings. For example, as of 2014, Japan had served ten times as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC). Also, as the only country that has ever suffered from the devastation of atomic bombings, Japan has taken every opportunity to call the importance of disarmament and non-proliferation to the attention of the international community, gaining appreciation and trust from many countries. Today, the international community faces a number of new challenges to be addressed, such as a rash of regional and ethnic conflicts, poverty, sustainable development, climate change, and human rights issues. These global challenges should be addressed by the United Nations with its universal character. For nearly three decades, Japan has been the second largest contributor to the UN's finances after the United States, and Japan is an indispensable partner in the management of the UN. ⓒUN Photo/Mark Garten 1 Japan's Contributions at the UN In cooperation with the UN, Japan contributes to international peace and stability through exercising leadership in its areas of expertise, such as agenda-setting and rule-making for the international community. A case in point is human security.

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.

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.

    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.

PART II: LIFE IN OPPOSITION 3 Seems Like Old Times n the caucus meeting room hang photos of all of the provincial leaders, going back to Micki MacDonald in 1953. Then there is Jim Aitchison in 1962, Jeremy Akerman in 1968, Buddy MacEachern in 1980, Alexa McDonough in 1980, John Holm in 1994, Robert Chisholm in 1996, Helen MacDonald in 2000, and then Darrell Dexter in 2001. It has been a long run. While my focus here is on the period I know best, i.e., since 1998, the electoral leap forward that year came with specific Gauche caviar - antecedents, decades of hard work, and many struggles. - is the French phrase; in English, it is “champagne social ist.” The Americans have “limousine liberal.” In other countries and lan guages there are equivalent terms. To some extent it implies hypocrisy, Ithough not always. What it points to is a well-recognized phenomenon that those with ample education are often likely to favour an egalitarian and comfort in the status quo - society, even when they benefit themselves from positions of advantage - . There has always been something of a divi - sion inside the party in Nova Scotia between the university-based mem bership and the mostly Cape Breton working-class unionized member ship. This certainly has evolved over the years, but for a long time was a fact of life for the dynamics of the party. Nor is it confined to Nova Scotia.
