Co-operative Commonwealth Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) (French: Fédération du commonwealth coopératif, then Parti social démocratique du Canada) was a Canadian political party founded in 1932 in Calgary, Alberta, by a number of socialist, farm, co-operative and labour groups, and the League for Social Reconstruction. |
 | | The decision to launch the CCF was made shortly after the 1930 federal election at a meeting in United Farmers of Alberta MP William Irvine's office. |
 | | In 1943, the Ontario CCF became the official opposition in that province, and in 1944, the Saskatchewan CCF formed the first socialist government in North America with Tommy Douglas as premier. |
