Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Social Credit Association of Canada : The Social Credit Association, a political organization, was founded in April 1944 at the first National Convention of all Social Credit provincial associations which was held in Toronto. Solon Low was elected President and National Leader with J. Ernest Grégoire as Vice-President. In 1948, the Union des électeurs withdrew from the association and Grégoire was replaced by Peer Paynter and W.J. Tinkler at the Regina National Convention in 1950. First established in Edmonton, the Party headquarters were transferred to Toronto in 1953 and to Ottawa in 1957.

After the general defeat of 1958, Bazil Kuglin was appointed chairman of a National Action Committee in order to reorganise and administer the association and Peer Paynter became Acting President. At the National Convention in July 1960, Robert Thompson was elected president of the Association with Réal Caouette, Herb Bruch and Orvis Kennedy as vice-presidents. A new constitution giving more autonomy to provincial associations, was also adopted.

Following internal conflicts, Réal Caouette and 12 M.P.'s from Quebec left the association in September 1963 to sit under the banner of the Ralliement des créditistes. In March 1967, Robert Thompson and Martin Kelln resigned from the association. They were replaced by Alex B. Patterson as House Leader and by Herb Bruch as President, but the association ceased to function shortly after the 1968 election, which left the Party without representation in the House of Commons.
