	FCS Proposals
		The Federation would be a new global, political body that stretches around the world built on common bonds with the power to control and decide its own destiny safe from the influence of the other world superpowers.
		The political system of the Commonwealth Federation would be charged with coordinating these movements and to assisting the national governments in maintaining their economic strengths whilst pursuing actively their collective interests outside of the confederation.
		Under the Commonwealth Federation, this would be radically altered to the benefit of all the citizens of the CANZUK nations.

	Discovering Democracy - Teaching Civics - Ask the Expert - Helen Irving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The term 'Federation' is often also used to refer to the series of historical steps or processes that took place in the 1890s which led to the inauguration of the Commonwealth.
		It was adopted with the enactment of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act in 1900 and the inauguration of the Commonwealth in 1901.
		It is widely considered that the increased power of the Commonwealth to collect revenue (and then return it to the states in the form of grants), as well as the application of international law in spheres formally under state control, have fundamentally altered Australia's 'federal balance' this century.

	Federation in tatters - National - smh.com.au
		Federal systems are inevitably somewhat inefficient, duplicating some things and leading to squabbles about which level of government is responsible for others.
		We could redefine the federal division of powers so that the national government has direct responsibility for the problems that demand national solutions in the 21st century and limit the powers that have undermined the position of the states.
		A third option would be to accept the dominance of the Commonwealth and to accept that the states are largely responsible for delivering federally funded programs in accordance with federal conditions.

	Talk:Cooperative Commonwealth Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In all cases, the party's name is the "Co - operative Commonwealth Federation", and not the "Cooperative Commonwealth Federation".
		It would be a good idea to move this discussion over to Talk:Canadian federal election results since 1867 where there is already a discussion underway about party colours.
		The socialist party is something that could probably be left alone (it was a marginal party) The party is on the left and could basically be left alone similarly labour, farmer-labour, Independent labour party, ect, or it could be changed to gray, like the UFA.

	Co-operative Commonwealth Federation
		Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), founded 1932 in Calgary as a political coalition of progressive, socialist and labour forces anxious to establish a political vehicle capable of bringing about economic reforms to improve the circumstances of those suffering the effects of the GREAT DEPRESSION.
		The main impetus for the formation of the new party came from farmers' organizations (including the UNITED FARMERS OF ALBERTA, which governed that province), a handful of academics in the LEAGUE FOR SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION (LSR) and a GINGER GROUP of MPs in Ottawa allied with both farmer and trade-union organizations.
		It won the critical York South by-election in February 1942, in the process preventing the Conservative leader, former Prime Minister Arthur MEIGHEN, from entering the Commons; topped a September 1943 national Gallup poll; came second in that year's Ontario elections; and, under the leadership of T.C., took office in Saskatchewan in 1944.

	Co-operative Commonwealth Federation - CCF - Canadian History
		Woodsworth, Labour member of parliament for Winnipeg North Centre, was elected president of the Federation; and he immediately proceeded with the organization of the new party.
		The United Farmers of Ontario were persuaded to affiliate themselves with the Federation, and C.C.F. clubs were formed throughout Ontario for the enrolment of the "vast unattached body of Canadians" not connected with labour or farmer groups; and an attempt was made to organize the new party in the Maritime provinces.
		In 1934 the United Farmers of Ontario withdrew from the Federation; but in the provincial elections in British Columbia, in 1933, the C.C.F. candidates polled a considerable vote.

	United Commonwealth Society
		Under phase one of this plan, The Commonwealth Federation (or Union) would be composed of a core consisting of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and these countries' overseas territories and associated states, known by the acronym CANZUK (see footnote for list of these countries and territories).
		The Commonwealth Federation would be the third largest economy in the Western world (excluding its trade agreements with the rest of the Commonwealth), with global reach, a high standard of living and a powerful position in almost every geographical region and sector of the global economy.
		Should they continue to act autonomously and ignore or deny their common roots and interests, the CANZUK countries are statistically not strong enough to retain their influence and protect their ways of life without being incorporated into other transnational structures, be they the orbits of superpowers or power-hungry regional blocs like the EU.

	Oz I.D. - Federation 1901 teacher notes
		We had all looked forward to the fine weather which is seasonable at the time of the year, and the gloom which hid the sun on this first morning of the Commonwealth of Australia gave many an anxious moment in the households of the holiday-makers.
		This unique emphasis may have been provided by the accident that in 1901 a federation occurred without proper rhetorical warning: federation was given retrospective meaning by the Commonwealth's implementation of the White Australia policy.
		Many Australians at federation really did believe that Australia was to be safeguarded from the "coloured races" that surrounded our shores and wanted to invade us, and that there task was to pass on to the next generation their "white heritage."

		Unemployed workers must be secured in the tenure of their homes, and the scale and methods of relief, at present altogether inadequate, must be such as to preserve decent human standards of living.
