  • George Hobson Steer, Qc
    242 ALBERT A LAW REVIEW [VOL. XX, NO. 2 FIFTY-FIVEYEARS AT THE ALBERTABAR: GEORGEHOBSON STEER, Q.C. W. F. BOWKER* I. INTRODUCTION 1 George Hobson Steer was born in Hamilton, Ontario. 2 He became a schoolteacher. Enrolling at Queen's University as an extra-mural stu­ dent, he later was in residence there, obtaining the degree of Master of Arts in May, 1912. The next month he came to Edmonton and entered into articles with C.L. Freeman of the firm of Boyle, Parlee, Freeman, Abbott and Mustard. At that time the period of articles was three years for a stu­ dent with a degree. After a year Steer's 3 articles were transferred to C.H. Grant of Rutherford, Jamieson and Grant. The head of this firm had been the first premier of Alberta. On October 8, 1915 Steer was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor before Mr. Justice J.D. Hyndman and soon after his name was added to the firm. From the time of admission he did counsel work. Near the end of World War I he joined the Tank Corps as an officer and was in England at the Armistice. Soon after returning he left the Rutherford firm and joined in practice with Col. C.Y. Weaver. Weaver was a prominent Conservative while Steer, though never active in politics, was a Liberal. At first \hey did not have any large clients but did look after some British investments and acted for a good number of veterans. When prohibition came to an end after a plebiscite in the fall of 1923, the Northwest Brewing Company re­ tained Weaver and Steer as its solicitors.

  • Prairie Freigeld: Alberta Social Credit and the Keynesian Frontier of Monetary Economic Thought in North America, 1929-1938
    Prairie Freigeld: Alberta Social Credit and the Keynesian Frontier of Monetary Economic Thought in North America, 1929-1938 by Victor Short A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Victor Short 2014 Prairie Freigeld: Alberta Social Credit and the Keynesian Frontier of Monetary Economic Thought in North America, 1929-1938 Victor Short Masters of Arts Department of Geography University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the impact of Social Credit in North America during the Great Depression as a social philosophy and approach to government. By placing Social Credit in the context of interwar social movements for monetary reform, the events in Alberta from 1932 to 1938 are examined from the historical geographic iteration of what I call the Keynesian frontier of monetary macro-economic thought. This thesis shifts attention on this episode of Canadian history towards the lens of monetary neutrality. I argue that the Keynesian frontier was the intellectual environment for a worldwide English- speaking progressive underground which sought to find in macro-economic theory a vision of utopian society where money had no effect on material choices and interpersonal relations. During the 1930s, movements such as Social Credit transformed this underground into a collective effort to integrate the institutional channels of circulation with the mechanics of the modern monetary and fiscal state. ii Acknowledgements This project has been made possible because of the support of a number of individuals and institutions. I am thankful for the financial support of a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada scholarship.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE AND SCOPE The Provincial Archives of Alberta Subject Headings (hereafter referred to as PAASH) was developed in 1982 in order to provide a standard indexing vocabulary to be used in the preparation of indexes for all types of archival holdings, both audio-visual and textual. The subject headings were developed by a committee of three representing the Provincial Archives of Alberta sections responsible for manuscript, government and audio-visual records. In preparing the list, the committee based its decisions on the need to index material known to be in the Archives holdings already, but also tried to anticipate needs and include headings that may be required at some future date. Researchers must be aware that JUST BECAUSE AN ENTRY IS INCLUDED IN PAASH DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS MATERIAL IN THE PROVINCIAL ARCHIVES OF ALBERTA RELATING TO THAT ENTRY OR TOPIC.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: March 1, 1991 Abstract This thesis provides an examination of both the political and legal uses of reference cases to the Supreme Court of Canada by the Mackenzie King government. Attention is devoted to the five-year-period, 1935-1940, in which the King administration submitted several politically motivated references to the Supreme Court. This political use of refer• ence cases to the Supreme Court began immediately after the Liberals returned to power in October 1935 when the government submitted the Bennett government's New Deal leg• islation for judicial scrutiny.

  • The British Columbia Social Credit Movement As Social Criticism, 19J2-52
    "RECKONING WITH THE MACHINE": The British Columbia Social Credit Movement as Social Criticism, 19J2-52 LEONARD B. KUFFERT ITH A SMALL MEMBERSHIP AND FAINT PROMISE of its eventual political success, the British Columbia Social WCredit movement dwelt in obscurity for most of the twenty years following its incorporation in 1932. Consequently, this early phase of its development has not drawn much scholarly attention. Yet a consideration of the movement's career before its electoral break­ through in 1952 may dispel some misconceptions about the movement itself and lead to a clearer understanding of mid-twentieth-century Canadian attitudes towards ideas like planning and democracy. The movement's members tended to gaze disapprovingly upon the social changes they perceived, especially from the later stages of the Second World War to the early 1950s, a time in which talk of "reconstruction" prevailed and many were cheered by the prospect of a new world order. Viewed in the context of a depression-war-prosperity cycle, the movement's internal difficulties and protracted inability to recruit a mass following raise fascinating questions about the effects of rapid economic and cultural change on doctrines like Social Credit. In developing a critique of collectivism and the welfare state that historians of wartime and post-war Canada rarely consider characteristic of the period, the movement nonetheless reflected its cultural milieu by gradually turning away from the "scientific" Social Credit system of monetary reform and embracing individualism, Christianity, and free enterprise. Historians of Alberta's Social Credit regime have argued that a similar shift occurred in that province, and interpretations of the BC movement's evolution have presented Social Credit's electoral success in British Columbia as an outgrowth of its Albertan experience.

  • The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960
    The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960 by Eric M. Adams A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science Graduate Department of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Eric M. Adams 2009 The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960 Eric M. Adams SJD 2009 Graduate Department of Law, University of Toronto ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the idea of constitutional rights transformed Canadian constitutional law well before the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Specifically, it locates the origins of Canada’s twentieth-century rights revolution in the constitutional thinking of scholars, lawyers, judges, and politicians at mid-century (1930-1960). Drawing on archival documents, personal papers, government reports, parliamentary debates, case law, and legal scholarship, this work traces the constitutional thought and culture that first propelled human rights and fundamental freedoms to the forefront of the Canadian legal imagination. As a work of legal history, it also seeks to revive the dormant spirit of constitutional history that once pervaded the discipline of Canadian constitutional law. The Introduction situates the chapters that follow within the emerging Canadian historiography of rights. Chapter Two traces the origins of Frank Scott’s advocacy for constitutional rights to the newer constitutional law, an approach to constitutional scholarship sparked by the social and political upheavals of the Depression, and the influence of Roscoe Pound’s sociological ii jurisprudence. Chapter Three explores the varied dimensions of the Second World War’s influence on the nascent idea of Canadian constitutional rights.

    Janine Stingel FROM FATHER TO SON: CANADIAN JEWRY’S RESPONSE TO THE ALBERTA SOCIAL CREDIT PARTY AND THE REFORM PARTY OF CANADA This article examines the response of the Canadian Jewish Congress to the anti-Semitic propaganda within the Social Credit movement in Alberta under Ernest Manning in the 1940s, and its response to the Reform Party of Canada’s right- wing agenda and incidents of intolerance under his son, Preston Manning, in the 1990s. The article discusses how the national representative organization for Canadian Jewry evolved and matured in the postwar period so that its passive, ineffective approach to Social Credit’s intolerance was replaced by an unequivocal and public questioning of the Reform Party’s agenda. It argues that Preston Manning learned from his father’s errors regarding anti-Semitism within populist parties, and resolved that his party would not fall prey to such intolerance. Similarly, the Canadian Jewish Congress was determined to confront the Reform Party in a manner which it had been unable to muster against Social Credit in the 1940s. THE FATHER In 1935, the Social Credit movement under William Aberhart won the Alberta provincial election in an unprece- dented landslide. It took thirty-six years for Social Credit to be 2 Janine Stingel bested, when Peter Lougheed’s Conservatives swept the polls in 1971. Newly-discovered archival evidence has revealed that before, during, and following the Second World War, the Alberta Social Credit party and government and the national Social Credit party engaged in an extensive and prolonged anti- Semitic propaganda campaign. This anti-Semitic propaganda, originally expounded by Social Credit’s Scottish founder, Major C.H.
