CCF The CCF aimed to alleviate the suffering that workers and farmers, the ill and old endure under capitalism. The party adopted the Regina Manifesto that outlined a number of goals, including: -Public ownership of key industries Universal Health Care Universal Pensions Childrens allowances Workers compensation

The party on the federal stage J.S. WoodsworthM.J Coldwell

At the Provincial Level The party was to have its greatest success in provincial politics in the 1940s. –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 –As Premier Tommy Douglas introduced universal Healthcare to Saskatchewan…. This was implemented later nationally under the liberals. – –Student project – greatest canadianhttp://

New Deal Roosevelt had focused on 3 major areas: –promoting recovery, big projects –providing relief to the needy –reforming investment and banking regulations. Bennett hoped that Canadians would respond to a Canadian version; he surprised many people with his radical reforms, as he was a capitalist and a conservative

The Regina Riot and the “On to Ottawa Trek” Relief Camps –Set up in1932 to provide work for the unemployed –Men moved into them by their own free choice –Given shelter, food, clothing, and minimal wages –Place of political discussion (left wing)

Regina Riot Began in the relief camps of British Columbia –dissatisfied with their living and working conditions, 1,500 men left the relief camps to go on strike in April 1935 The strikers went to protest in Vancouver, but the Mayor told them he had no power to help them; he gave them an alternative: –go back to work and finance a delegation to go to Ottawa and discuss their demands The strikers refused, and when they saw how little the government was doing, 1,000 men decided to go to Ottawa to present their grievances

They were banned by Bennett from taking the train, so 8 men started to walk across the country; the others (by now 2,000) stayed in Regina Bennett refused the delegation’s demands, and the 8 men returned to Regina On July 1st, 1935, they organized a public protest that was broken up by the police, who arrested the leaders This prompted a riot; two people died, dozens were injured, and over 100 were arrested The Saskatchewan government helped fund the workers’ return to the relief camps Bennett was criticized for how he handled the crisis
