ALBERTA See United Farmers Of Alberta ONTARIO See United Farmers Of Ontario MANITOBA See Progressive Party Of Manitoba (which changed its name from the United Farmers of Manitoba) SASKATCHEWAN United Farmers of Canada (Saskatchewan Section) was founded in 1926 by members of the Farmers' Union of Canada and the Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association. As a result of the Dust Bowl farm crisis during the Great Depression the UFC (SS) became politicised and adopted a socialist platform. In 1932 it joined the Independent Labour Party in the province to form the Farmer-Labour Group which, in 1934, became the Saskatchewan section of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation . NEWFOUNDLAND Though not part of the ''United Farmers'' movement, or indeed a movement of farmers at all, the Fisherman's Protective Union of Newfoundland provides an interesting case that parallels that of the ''United Farmers''.
