  • Preaching Premiers: the Political and Religious Errands of William Aberhart and Ernest Manning1
    Preaching Premiers: The Political and Religious Errands of William Aberhart and Ernest Manning1 BRIAN FROESE Canadian Mennonite University In July 1932 William Aberhart, principal of Crescent View High School in Calgary, arrived in Edmonton, as he did every July, to mark exams. At these annual grading sessions Aberhart regularly met with a chemistry teacher, Charles Morton Scarborough, of Edmonton. Scarborough was an avid reader of Major C.H. Douglas’ social credit theories and, while grading exams, would extol the virtues of social credit, attempting in vain to attract Aberhart to his view. However, 1932 was different from other summers. That July Aberhart arrived in Edmonton in an unusually sullen mood as the economic depression and severe drought were seriously grinding on the Albertan economy. He watched helplessly as the graduates of his school could not find work. One graduating student even committed suicide that spring.2 Aberhart, like many others, saw his income slashed as the Canadian jobless rate hit 20% and Albertan incomes declined overall by 62% from 1928 to 1932, second only to Saskatchewan at 72%. Private Albertan debt climbed to the highest level in Canada.3 Even military enlistment was affected as Albertan young men were allegedly rejected at an exaggerated rate on account of rickets caused by malnourishment.4 Alberta was at the time a rural society, and as mortgage rates on farms and equipment rose, many could not make the interest payments. The cities were no better as 15% of Edmontonians and 13% of Calgarians lived on the relief rolls. Relief numbers would be higher but single men were not counted, being sent to work camps, and many central Europeans if not deported were Historical Papers 2014: Canadian Society of Church History 82 Preaching Premiers simply cut from the rolls.5 Aberhart was also very busy.

  • The Calgary Working Class and the Social Credit Movement in Alberta, 1932-35
    The Calgary Working Class and the Social Credit Movement in Alberta, 1932-35 Larry Hannant THE SOCIAL CREDIT MOVEMENT and government in Alberta constitutes one of the most closely-examined phenomena in Canadian history. Among the many studies of it, C.B. Macpherson's Democracy in Alberta: Social Credit and the Party System, written in 1953, was one of the first. Some recent criticism notwithstanding, it is still regarded as the classic work on the sub­ ject.' Perhaps because of the authority of Macpherson's contention that farmers have exercised overwhelming political domination in Alberta and in the Social Credit movement, no one has yet conducted even the most superficial study of the role of the working class in Calgary in the growth of that movement up to the election of the first such government in the world in August 1935. The formative influence of the Calgary working class on Social Credit has therefore been overlooked. To redress that imbalance, this essay will demonstrate first that Calgary in the 1930s had a relatively large and politically active working class. Moreover, it will be shown that workers — as individuals and en masse — injected a powerful drive into the organization of the Social Credit movement in the critical period of its infancy and adolescence. I FROM THH BIRTH OF the province, labour's influence on Alberta provincial politics was significant, a fact which is often overshadowed by the strength of the farmers' movements of the early twentieth century. The triumph of the farmers' concept of group government which occurred with the election of the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) as the provincial administration in 1921 did not leave the labour movement untouched.

That's the pottery district of Britain, where they make cups and saucers and all that sort of stuff. My mother was the one who raised me, because my father was a very sick man, and died of heart trouble when I was 13 or so. My mother always said it was with him selling newspapers when he was a kid, getting wet and contracting rheumatic fever. He died when I was about 13, so mother looked after us - for a long time before that. She was really the mainstay of the family. I've got a brother who’s 10 years older than me, and t a sister, who’s 12 years and another who’s 4 years older, and another who’s two years older. I was the baby of the family. My mother did everything. She really saw that we lived right. I went to school there; to elementary school and then to a technical school.

  • 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.

    FAIR USE CLAIMED FOR NON-COMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY The Alberta Experiment: An Interim Survey by C. H. Douglas (With introduction by Eric D. Butler and background notes by L. D.

Butler and background notes by L. D. Byrne. PREFACE In the years which have succeeded the European war of 1914-18, the world has witnessed at least three developments in those associations which we choose to call the “State.” I refer, of course, to the Soviet Republics of Russia, the Fascist Corporatist State of Italy, and the National Socialist State of Germany. To what extent these developments are administrative and have to do with Law and the means of enforcing Law, and to what extent they are economic and financial, is not easy to determine. What is clear about them is that they do not openly and consciously challenge the international credit and financial monopoly which inter-permeates and, in many cases, transcends them. While it might at first sight appear that anything which could take place in a single Province of Canada must be of less importance than movements involving great world powers, I venture to suggest that history will not endorse such a conclusion. Whatever the mistakes which have been, are being, and, no doubt, will be made, in the adventure to which Western Canada is moving, the forces which are being challenged and the political results of that challenge are greater than anything which is involved in either Russia or Italy or Germany, every one of which, whatever its virtues, is an attack upon individual liberty.

Among the many studies of it, C.B. Macpherson's Democracy in Alberta: Social Credit and the Party System, written in 1953, was one of the first. Some recent criticism notwithstanding, it is still regarded as the classic work on the sub­ ject.' Perhaps because of the authority of Macpherson's contention that farmers have exercised overwhelming political domination in Alberta and in the Social Credit movement, no one has yet conducted even the most superficial study of the role of the working class in Calgary in the growth of that movement up to the election of the first such government in the world in August 1935.

  • Ernest Manning High School
    hen David Price talks about diplomacy, he speaks from Whard-won experience. Ernest Manning High School, the $52.5-million, LEED-Silver project he project-managed on behalf of The City of Calgary, was the product of a perfect storm of opportunity. It involved a host of players, each with their own needs and goals. There was The City of Calgary, the Calgary Board of Education (CBE), the Province of Alberta, an aging high school, approximately 1,800 high school stu- dents, and a new light rapid transit (LRT) system that required parking space.
