Uncommon card · No. 162858

The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF; French: Fédération du Commonwealth Coopératif, FCC) was a federal democratic socialist and social-democratic political party in Canada. The CCF was founded in 1932 in Calgary, Alberta, by the merger of several socialist, agrarian, co-operative, and labour groups, and the League for Social Reconstruction. In 1944, the CCF formed one of the first social-democratic governments in North America when it was elected to form the provincial government in Saskatchewan. The full, but little used, name of the party was Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (Farmer-Labour-Socialist). In 1961, the CCF was succeeded by the New Democratic Party (NDP).
