	United Farmers of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) were the Ontario section of the nation-wide United Farmers movement that arose in Canada in the early part of the 20th century.
		The UFO was founded in 1914 by the merger of various farmers' organizations that had arisen in the previous fifteen years.
		Leading UFO member Agnes Macphail, (a Member of Parliament in the Canadian House of Commons originally elected with the Progressive Party), encouraged the United Farmers of Ontario to affiliate with Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) when it was formed in 1932.

	United Farmers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		United Farmers rejected the National Policy of the Conservatives but also felt that the Liberals were not strong enough proponents of free trade and were too strongly tied to business interests.
		Generally, farmers groups formed alliances with Labour and socialist groups though, in power, they became more pragmatic and closer to the Liberals causing ruptures in several provinces between United Farmer governments and their organizations.
		United Farmers of Canada (Saskatchewan Section) was founded in 1926 by members of the Farmers' Union of Canada and the Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association.

		The Ontario Liberal Party is a provincial political party in the province of Ontario, Canada, and forms the Government of Ontario as of the Ontario general election, 2003.
		The Liberal Party of Ontario is descended from the Reform Party of Robert Baldwin and William Lyon Mackenzie, who argued for responsible government in the 1830s and 1840s against the conservative patrician rule of the Family Compact.
		In the 2003 Ontario election, however, the Tories ran the poor campaign, and their new leader, Ernie Eves was seen to be weak and untrustworthy.

	United Farmers of Ontario
		United Farmers of Ontario, a farmers' educational, social and political organization formed Mar 1914 in Toronto.
		The UFO grew slowly until late in WWI, when labour shortages, inflated costs and a general dissatisfaction with existing political parties led to a rapid growth in membership.
		In 1948 the United Farmers' Co-operative became the United Co-operatives of Ontario, today it is one of the largest farmer-owned companies in Canada.

		A secondary goal is to prove that the decline of the ufo in the mid-twenties was primarily due to elite forces, particularly the media and big business, but also to the ufo's own leadership.
		This section is followed by a brief description of the ufo's electoral cooperation with labour in 1919 and 1921, and a separate chapter on the supposed moderation of the ufo's agenda, first among increasingly pragmatic party leaders and eventually among the rank-and-file.
		In the chapter on the ufo's decline, some typically partisan anti-ufo election volleys and a single editorial opposed to group government are used to illustrate the 'hegemonic forces at work' undermining the rank-and-file's faith in their principles.

		The United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) was formed in 1914 as an educational and social organization to advance the cause of agriculture in the province.
		Its core supporters felt the UFO had increased provincial spending too much and urban interests were upset at Drury's commitment to free trade and an almost fanatical enforcement of prohibition laws.

	Ringing In the Common Love of Good by Desmond Morton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Dismissing the work of those who have focused on the leaders of the United Farmers of Ontario, Badgeley promises to reach down to the ufo membership in Lambton, Simcoe, and Lanark counties who, in the spirit of agrarian populism, controlled the movement.
		Badgeley has limited success in reaching the rank-and-file ufo and tries to hide his relative failure by abusing other Ontario historians of his period for their preoccupation with the leadership instead of the membership, without improving greatly on their performance.
		Like their ndp counterparts at the other end of the twentieth century, ufo members were constantly assured that they controlled the movement and its policies and they were correspondingly dismayed by their short-lived interlude of power.
