Progressive Labour Party of Alberta

Progressive Labour Party of Alberta

The Progressive Labour Party of Alberta was a short lived provincial political party in Alberta, Canada.

It was created after the Labour Party of Alberta broke up in 1932. Most of the Labour Party merged into the Alberta branch of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, led by Elmer Roper. A small faction of more right-leaning supporters joined the Progressive movement.

The party had marginal success in a couple of by-elections before and after the 1935 Alberta provincial election, but did not contest that election.

In the 1940 election, a few supporters ran as Independent Progressive candidates after the dissolution of the party.

PLP member Ernest Starr later ran as a candidate for Alberta Progressive Conservatives.

This party is not to be confused with the communist front, the Labour Progressive Party.
