Calgary Sun Columnist - Paul Jackson: Jack's no master The New Democrats have always been a sanctimonious bunch, even though, from the time of their creation as the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in 1932, and after taking on their current title in 1961, they have never come even close to governing the country.

Actually, no one really knows where Robinson is these days -- and my betting is that no one cares. www.canoe.ca /NewsStand/Columnists/Calgary/Paul_Jackson/2004/08/26/602192.html   (387 words)

Skip the protesting, and start a co-op Indeed, the prairies have been a hotbed of co-operativism throughout Canada' s history, and it is not at all surprising that a political party called the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation came into existence there. Some co-operative ventures may be unique to Canada: there is a co-operatively-owned funeral service in Manitoba, where a co-operatively-owned newspaper, the Winnipeg Citizen, once also arose. Ironic, then, that the CCF could be held responsible for favouring crown corporations over co-operatives, perhaps charting an unfortunate detour for us all. www.1rev.net /archive/39-repub/repub_39_litzcke.html   (387 words)
