| Summary |
"Founded in 1914, the United Farmers of Ontario won the most seats in the 1919 provincial election and formed a governing coalition with the Independent Labour Party. In achieved much of its success by challenging those who controlled the economic, political, and social structures in Ontario. However the promise of equality never materialized and by the mid-1920s the UFO had gone into a period of decline from which it never recovered."--Jacket |
