CCF: A Record of Change?
The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation had big plans when it came into power in 1944.
Was the CCF government able to make all of the changes that had been envisioned?

The documents below were created and distributed by the Saskatchewan Liberal Party in the 1960s, to share its vision for the future with the people of Saskatchewan before the 1964 provincial election campaign.
Considering the primary source evidence from the 1944 Saskatchewan election and comparing it to evidence from the 1964 Saskatchewan election, consider these questions...
Once the CCF was in power, what solutions were acted upon and how quickly did it make changes?
Given that the CCF proposed such a radical slate of changes, did anything remain the same after 1944?
How long lasting were any changes that were made?
5 years? 10 years? 20 years? Longer?
How did the opposition Liberal Party's vision compare to the CCF/NDP's record and vision in the 1960s?
Does any evidence of change remain today?
