In 1935, Canadians went to the polls against a backdrop of the
Great Depression and deteriorating international conditions. This
election was like no other. As the Conservative government
splintered under the weight of outdated policies, the opposition
Liberals watched the destruction. Meanwhile, the newly minted
Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and Social Credit Party
transformed the electoral base, bringing working-class Canadians
– and working-class issues – more directly into the political
process. Although the Liberals ultimately swept back to power under
William Lyon Mackenzie King’s leadership, King and Chaos
demonstrates that the 1935 election marked a true turning point,
ending the dominance of the two-party system and making room for
additional parties to win seats and influence government policy.
