Regina Manifesto

The Regina Manifesto was a founding document of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in 1933, outlining its vision for Canada's future. It called for social and economic reforms to reduce inequality, including public ownership of key industries, improved social services like healthcare and education, and policies to support workers and farmers. The manifesto aimed to create a more just, equitable society by challenging capitalist practices that led to poverty and hardship during the Great Depression. It laid the groundwork for Canada's social welfare programs and influenced the development of Canada's modern social-democratic policies.
