Ringing in the Common Love of Good - The United Farmers of Ontario, 1914-1916 (Electronic book text)

Founded in 1914, the United Farmers of Ontario (UFO) became a significant force in the province, winning the most seats in the 1919 provincial election and forming a governing coalition with the Independent Labour Party. The UFO and its companion organizations, the United Farmers Cooperative Company (UFCe and the United Farm Women of Ontario (UFWO), flourished, achieving much of its success by challenging those who controlled the economic, political, and social structures in Ontario and advancing an alternative vision of democracy that sought to maximize citizen participation in the decision-making process.
