Show detail Hide detail

Co-operative Commonwealth Federation : The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), a political party, was founded in August of 1932 in Calgary at a conference which united various farm, labour and socialist groups from across the country into a federal political party. J.S. Woodsworth (1874-1942) led the party as national leader until shortly before his death in 1942. He was succeeded by another founding CCFer, M.J. Coldwell (1888-1975). Coldwell was defeated in the general election of 1958 but remained party leader until 1960. During the CCF Convention Hazen Argue (1921- ) was elected to the post.

In 1956, after the birth of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), negotiations began between the CLC and the CCF to bring about an alliance between organized labour and the political left in Canada. In 1958 a joint CCF-CLC committee, the National Committee for the New Party (NCNP), was formed to create a "new" social democratic political party. The NCNP spent the next three years laying down the foundations of the 'New Party'. In 1961, at the end of a five-day long convention, the New Democratic Party was born and T.C. Douglas (1904-1986) was elected its first leader.

In 1971 upon Douglas' retirement, longtime socialist and former CCF National Secretary and Party President, David Lewis, Q.C. (1909-1981) was elected Party Leader. Lewis retired from active politics in 1975 and Edward Broadbent (1936- ) was chosen as Lewis' replacement.
