Soldier (party)

Soldier (party)

During and following the First World War, several people ran in Canadian elections as soldiers. They had themselves listed on the ballot as Soldier Party, "Soldier-Farmer Party", "Soldier-Labour Party", or “Independent Soldier”.

One such candidate, Joseph McNamara [ [http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/members/members_all_detail.do?locale=en&ID=1563 Parliamentary history of Joseph McNamara in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario] ] , was elected in the Ontario general election in 1919. His mandate lasted from October 20, 1919 to May 10, 1923 and he generally supported the United Farmers of Ontario-Independent Labour Party government of Ernest C. Drury in the legislature.

Politics in the interwar period were hugely influenced by the societal impacts of veterans, in Canada as in other countries that were participants from the start in that war.
