Reform Movement in Canada

The Reform Movement in Canada was a political effort in the 19th and early 20th centuries advocating for democratic reforms, accountability, and responsible government. It emerged among settlers in western Canada and other regions seeking representation, fair treatment, and modernization of political institutions. The movement pushed for policies like election reforms, reduced government corruption, and greater regional influence. Over time, Reform leaders became influential in shaping Canada's political landscape, eventually leading to the creation of the Reform Party in the late 20th century, which played a key role in transforming conservative politics in Canada.
