	Social Credit Party of Saskatchewan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Social Credit Party of Saskatchewan was a political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan that promoted social credit economic theories from the mid-1930s to the late 1960s.
		Because Saskatchewan, like the other provinces and the federal government of Canada, uses the British parliamentary model (the 'first past the post' system) for electing its Legislative Assembly, only two of the 40 Social Credit candidates won election in 52 seats available in the legislature.
		In the 1956 provincial election, Social Credit nominated candidates in all 53 ridings, and won 21.48% of the popular vote, but only three of its candidates were elected.

	Social Credit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian social credit movement was by far the most notable, but the ideas also gained some lesser success in other countries.
		One such country was New Zealand, where the Social Credit Party gained several seats in the national parliament, with 21% of the total votes at one election.
		Although Social Credit lays the blame for many economic woes at the feet of private banks, most especially those that practice fractional-reserve banking, there is no suggestion that Douglas was anti-Semitic.

	Social Credit by Major Clifford Hugh Douglas
		From those beginnings, the Alberta Social Credit Party was formed in 1935, with popular educator and radio preacher William Aberhart as its leader.
		Alberta's several attempts to implement some form of Douglas Social Credit failed when the Supreme Court of Canada repeatedly held that Alberta lacked the constitutional authority to implement such monetary and banking laws: those, it held, were laws that only the federal government had the authority to make.
		The memberships of the parties ratified the agreement in principle in December of 2003, and the party was registered the "Conservative Party of Canada" in January of 2004.

	Conservative Party of Canada - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Conservative Party of Canada (French: Parti conservateur du Canada) is a right-wing political party in Canada, formed by the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in December 2003.
		The party is still referred to as "Tory" by the media and retains the tie to the historical Conservative Party of Canada founded in 1854 by Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier by virtue of the fact that the merged entity assumed all assets and liabilities of the Progressive Conservative Party.
		The party is often considered to be Canada's version of the United States Republican Party and the United Kingdom's Conservative Party due to their conservative positions.

		A majority of Canadians in the west (in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC, and the Northwest Territories), and in Quebec, rejected the Charlottetown Accord, and the Accord was defeated.
		The party came into being without a constitution or a set of policies: the merger was ratified with each party's members hoping that, after the merger, they would have enough power to determine the direction of the party.

	Calgary & Southern Alberta; Historical Interpretations of Social Credit’s Success in Alberta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Some historians argue that the ethnic and religious composition of Alberta and Saskatchewan contributed to the success of Social Credit in the former and the CCF in the latter.
		While religion and ethnicity contributed to the two provinces' different political leanings, both the CCF and the Social Credit Party responded to the economic problems of the Depression by protesting capitalism and central Canadian dominance.
		Social Credit came to power in Alberta because the CCF, affiliated with the United Farmers of Alberta, became discredited before it began.

		With this assured support of the heart of a growing party, the premier proceeded to lay down his own platform ND it may be significant that it did not differ from the one prepared by committees of the New Party National Committee, made up largely of CCF and CLC members.
		In the middle of his speech he declared the willingness of himself and his party (the cheers of the delegates substantiated this) to accept the challenge of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to fight the next election on the issue of socialism versus free enterprise.

	Can the NDP solve working class problems?
		Ownership of industry by the state is not social ownership, it is a form of private ownership, the only difference being that the state administers the business for the owners whose legal documents of possession assume the form of bonds instead of shares and whose unearned income is expressed as interest in place of dividends.
		Because the CCF/NDP confuses ‘welfare’ state capitalism with Socialism, it claims to be ‘democratic Socialist’ to distinguish itself from the dictatorial state capitalism of Russia and China.
		As a system, Socialism means that all people own and control the means of life in common, with free access according to need, to the goods and services that everyone has produced co-operatively and voluntarily according to ability – a moneyless, wageless, warless world of individual development.

		Of the 30 seats which Social Credit won across the nation, 26 were in Quebec.

		With the almost non-existent influence of the Progressive Conservatives and the New Democratic Party, and the limited importance of the Separatists, the Social Credit Party and the Liberals should slice the Quebec pie alone.

		There is no doubt Enterprise Saskatchewan board members would be handpicked by the Sask Party with the intent of furthering their right-wing economic beliefs on the province.

	Sustainable Economics, Effective Conservation Uses Durability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The transformation of social welfare in industrial countries from a charity-based model of providing assistance to the most destitute, into a set of state-sponsored programs and entitlements for broad segments of the population, began in the late nineteenth century.
		The resulting retrenchment of social welfare can lead one to conclude that perhaps the KWS was a thirty year aberration in the longue dureé of unfettered and vicious capitalism to which we have now returned.
		The third response to economic and social restructuring has been followed in continental western Europe, that of labour force reduction through such measures as early retirement, and denying or withdrawing supports for women such as maternity benefits and child care that facilitate their participation in the labour market.

		Facing a chaotic brawl against Social Crediters, United Farmers, Tories, non-partisan independents, the democratic-socialist CCF, and the Communists, the Liberals tried to distinguish themselves with a simple appeal to Albertans: trust in the wisdom of your provincial brethren, and vote for the natural governing party.
		Social Credit, as a theory, never claimed to redistribute tangible wealth; it merely sought to recapture a social surplus lost through bad accounting.
		That's the one in which Alberta elected a Social Credit government against the uniform advice of economists, national politicians, wise heads, and, frankly, most anyone with common sense or knowledge of the constitution.

	Jeff Riggenbach on Samuel Edward Konkin III
		At the University of Alberta he had served as head of the Young Social Credit League, a student group allied with the politics of the Social Credit Party, a minor Canadian political party founded in Alberta in the mid-1930s and based on the theories of the British economist Clifford Douglas.
		Paradoxically, as with various populist movements in the United States, I suspect the success of the Social Crediters in Canada actually reflects the ingrained anti-statism of the populace.
		The Free Libertarian Party was polarizing libertarian strategic thought between those who believed political action could be used to achieve a free society and those who believed political action was a betrayal of libertarian principle.
