Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
In this podcast episode, Larry Ostola talks to David MacKenzie about his book, King and Chaos: The 1935 Canadian General Election, published by UBC Press in June 2023. In 1935, Canadians went to the polls against a backdrop of the Great Depression and deteriorating international conditions. This election was like no other, as five major parties competed for voters who were used to a traditional slate of Liberals versus Conservatives. King and Chaos examines the issues, personalities, and significance of this turning point in Canadian political history. More than anything else, the election was a referendum on Conservative prime minister R.B. Bennett, whose name had become synonymous with hard times. As his government and his party splintered under the weight of outdated Tory policies, the opposition Liberals watched the destruction. Meanwhile, the newly minted Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, Social Credit Party, and Reconstruction Party broadened the electoral base, bringing working-class Canadians – and working-class issues – more directly into the political process. King and Chaos demonstrates that the advent of third parties permanently changed the political landscape. And while other countries turned to dictators and demagogues, King delivered a less radical, but equally important, change: an effective electoral machine and a national coalition comprising the two major linguistic groups that dominated Canadian politics for the next generation. David MacKenzie is a professor with Toronto Metropolitan University's Department of History. His main areas of academic interest are in Canadian history and international relations and the study of international organizations.

Bill Vander Zalm became 28th Premier of British Columbia in 1986. He was born and raised in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada after World War II, settling in the Fraser Valley in 1947. Vander Zalm was elected alderman in 1965, and served as mayor of Surrey from 1969 to 1975. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 1975 election. He served in the cabinet of William R. Bennett as Minister of Human Resources from 1975 to 1978, where he continued his crusade against welfare "fraud". He also served as Minister of Municipal Affairs and Minister of Education. In 1986, premier William R. Bennett announced he was retiring. Vander Zalm attracted considerable attention as considered a run for the leadership of the Social Credit Party. He generated more press out of the race than the other candidates did in it. At the party's convention he won the leadership easily. After he became premier, "Vandermania" swept BC, defeating the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) soundly in the 1986 British Columbia Election. *************************************************** Follow the Cross Border Interview Podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrossBorderPod Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI2i25ZVKTO84oUsLyO4jig Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Back the Show: https://www.patreon.com/CrossBoderInterviewPodcast The Cross Border Interview Podcast was Produced and Edited by Miranda, Brown & Associates Inc © 2022

It is good to work and to be invested in our work. Distributism fits well with traditional Anabaptist values, even though it has largely been articulated by Catholic thinkers. Stephen Russell urges us to “look at distributism and see how it fits with what we have traditionally tried to do, and learn from it”. These themes include valuing craftsmanship, family businesses, and widespread ownership of the tools and infrastructure needed for business.

Chris Leitch - Social Credit Party
Alberta has been under the governance of the Social Credit Party, during which the province experienced a growth in the oil and gas industry. With the discovery of brand new oil and gas deposits in 1947, Alberta went from being one of Canada's poorest provinces, to one of the richest. However, the leadership of Ernest Manning made the party one of the most conservative parties in Alberta at that time. Their Christian populist rhetoric shaped their policy, and in turn shaped Alberta's social characteristics. With the shift towards industrialization and boost in urban population, Social Credit's agrarian roots, along with changes in societal attitudes, were causing its popularity to dwindle. Out of this would rise a middle-aged Calgary lawyer, a man who wished to see a shift in Alberta from absolute conservatism to progressive conservatism. The election on August 30, 1971 would begin the Progressive Conservative Party's long dynasty in Alberta's politics, under the leadership of Alberta's greatest premier: Peter Lougheed.

Neo liberal economics, turned loose on New Zealand by Roger Douglas and Labour in 1985 (and still adhered to by both Labour and National today) has failed. The results speak for themselves - hundreds sleeping on the streets, in cars, in sheds and garages, hundreds more living in taxpayer funded motel units because they have no homes, full time workers unable to afford their rent, a health system in crisis, inequality at its highest level ever, roads, sewage systems, water supply and other infrastructure in disrepair, our "clean green" country under threat. We need an economic system that works for people and the country, not for a favoured few. Such a system exists. It's called Social Credit. It has been tried before in New Zealand and other places and worked brilliantly. It is being increasingly talked about internationally. It could work for us again. "Funny Money", once used in a derogatory way to describe Social Credit, is a term that would best describe the stupidity of our government borrowing the money it needs from private financial institutions when it could borrow from the country's central bank (the Reserve Bank), which it owns. This means that $4,500,000,000 of taxpayer money every year goes to pay interest when it could go towards things that benefit Kiwis. Social Credit is committed to fixing that, and putting in place a financial system that works for New Zealanders. Imagine if the government could create all the money that is needed. “Our own history offers us one of the most important instances of this being done. In the 1930s in the middle of the Great Depression, the great Labour Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage authorised the creation of new money so that thousands of new state houses could be built, thereby providing jobs for the unemployed and homes for the homeless and – incidentally – an income-producing asset for the government." Quote from Brian Gould, “Creating Money for the Good of the Country”. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/thecountry/news/article.cfm?c_id=16&objectid=12006636 Chris Leitch is Leader of the Social Credit Party and its finance spokesperson. Has been a campaigner for monetary reform since 1972. He stood as candidate in Whangarei in 1984 and 1987. He became the Party’s National President in 1989. After his party joined the Alliance, he became the first ever Alliance Candidate to stand for parliament – in the Tamaki by-election in 1992 after Rob Muldoon stood down, coming in second. He and the team reduced an 8,500 majority down to just 1,200. Elected to the Auckland Regional Services Trust in 1992, Chris fought efforts by the government to force the Trust to privatise and was successful in keeping revenue-earning assets in public ownership. Elected to the Waitemata Electricity Trust, Chris helped resist attempts by a foreign company to get full ownership and asset strip the company. He has served as Board Chairman of the Whangarei Youth Centre, and the Onerahi Primary School. He has been deputy leader of the party for two periods, once commencing in 1993, and again in 2014. He was elected leader last month. Social Credit’s web site is http://www.socialcredit.nz
Rita Johnson becomes Canada's first woman premier. Rita Johnston was born in Melville, Saskatchewan on April 22, 1935. After moving to Surrey, British Columbia, she and her husband operated a mobile home park and became actively involved in the Chamber of Commerce. From there, Johnston got involved in municipal politics, where she sat as a city councillor from 1969 until 1983, with one failed attempt at the mayorship in 1975. In 1983, Bill Vander Zalm, who would eventually become B.C.’s premier, resigned from provincial politics. Johnston was elected into Vander Zalm’s former riding of Surrey-Newton, where she served as the Social Credit MLA for eight years before becoming a parliamentary secretary. When Vander Zalm returned to politics as premier in 1986, Johnston was sworn into cabinet. She served in a number of portfolios, eventually becoming deputy premier in 1990. When Vander Zalm resigned over a political scandal in 1991, Johnston was ensconced as interim leader of her party, and therefore premier of the province. Later winning the party leadership on July 20, 1991, she became Canada’s first woman premier. Unfortunately, fallout over the Vander Zalm scandal contributed to her and her party’s defeat in the October 17, 1991 election. After Johnston resigned as leader of the Social Credit Party in early 1992, the party moved into political oblivion as the Liberal Party of B.C. filled its role on the right wing.

Kim Campbell named Canada’s first woman prime minister. Avril Phaedra Douglas Campbell was born in Port Alberni, British Columbia on March 10, 1947. She changed her name to Kim when she was just 12 years old. After high school, Campbell studied politics and government at the University of B.C. and the London School of Economics, then lectured at UBC She graduated from UBC’s law school while serving as a Vancouver school board trustee. She ran unsuccessfully on a provincial level with the governing Social Credit Party in 1984, then for the party’s leadership. Success came in 1986, when she was elected to the provincial legislature, but early on, she differed with Premier Bill Vander Zalm over the issue of abortion. When the Progressive Conservatives approached Campbell to run federally, few could have predicted her meteoric rise. She went from backbench MP in 1988 to serving as the country’s first woman justice minister in 1990. When Prime Minister Brian Mulroney stepped down, Campbell won the leadership of the party and was sworn in as Canada’s first woman prime minister on June 25, 1993. Unfortunately for Campbell, her reign lasted only a few months. Her party suffered its greatest defeat, electing only two MPs (and Campbell was not one of them) on November 4. Campbell went on to lecture at Harvard University before serving as Canada’s consul general in Los Angeles for several years. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
