CCF!

Edit:
The CCF will be running candidates in 121 of the 245 districts



Hey, at least they can win a minority Wink
Earl, please tell me they'll be able to win a majority next time.  Please.

They fielded 93/245 in 1940 IRL. Didn't have a mostly full (203/245) slate till 1945.

This was not as exciting as I'd hoped Sad

And no votes for the reconstruction party? They are running in a majority of ridings!

what is it they don't like about the Conservative government's approach?

Mostly a personal feud between Bennett and Stevens over a) leadership b) policy. Stevens chaired a parliamentary commission which issued a report recommending a total 180 in policy to the New Deal ripoff that Bennett implemented. Bennett was a traditional Bay Street Tory till 1935, Stevens always a progressive.
