Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, Canada (CCF) A political party backed by farming interests, intellectuals concerned with social welfare, and some representatives of industrial labour, founded in Calgary in 1932 as a response to the
Great Depression. It advocated the introduction of a
welfare state and the nationalization of key industries. The party enhanced its appeal during World War II, when it benefited from hopes for a better postwar society. In 1943 it came second in the Ontario provincial elections, and in 1944 it won the provincial elections in Saskatchewan, where it governed until 1964. During that time a pioneering universal health service (
Medicare) was established, as well as an intercity bus company and public petrol distribution. Nationally, it gained 15.6 per cent of the popular vote in the 1945 general elections, but because of the
Cold War, support for its socialist policies declined. The party's appeal also waned as other parties implemented many aspects of their programme of social welfare. It merged with the
Canadian Labour Congress in 1961 to form the New Democratic Party. Its most important legacy to Canadian history lies in the realm of welfare. Its growing support during
World War II galvanized the ever-pragmatic
Mackenzie King to expand the welfare state.
