'''Social Credit''' (often called ''Socred'') was a populist political movement strongest in Alberta and British Columbia, 1930s-1970s. It spread to Saskatchewan, and contested federal elections. It had a long history in Quebec, beginning in 1936, but later reorganized into the Union des Electeurs, and then into Le Ralliement des Creditistes. Social Credit was based on the economic theories of British engineer Major C. H. Douglas. | '''Social Credit''' (often called ''Socred'') was a populist political movement strongest in Alberta and British Columbia, 1930s-1970s.
