Social Credit Party of Canada

The Social Credit Party of Canada was a political movement that emerged in the 1930s, inspired by the social credit economic theories advocating for government intervention to ensure fair wealth distribution and economic stability. It primarily gained support in Western Canada, especially Alberta, promoting policies like income support and monetary reform. While it had some influence in provincial politics, the party never achieved significant national power and gradually declined by the 1980s. Its core ideas focused on addressing economic inequality and advocating for a more equitable economic system through government action.
