Using Watson Thomson's adult educational work with Tommy Douglas' CCF from late 1944 to early 1946 as an anchor point, this paper has several goals. First, to explicate Thomson's transformative-communitarian socialist vision and thereby confront the inadequacies of the communist-social democratic framing of the history of the Canadian left; second, to illuminate the tensions on the left at an axial moment in its history; third, to examine the specific failings of the social democratic imagination and political will; finally, to insert Watson Thomson into the social history of adult education and western Canadian radicalism.

During World War II the Canadian state, under the authority of the War Measures Act, exercised extraordinary powers of repression against political activity and expression considered "subversive" of the war effort. These powers included press censorship, internment without trial, and the outlawing of associations. From 1939 through 1941 a prime target of repression was Communism, with serious ramifications for trade union activities and political life in Canada. The reluctance to lessen this repression after the wartime alliance with the Soviet Union came into effect calls into question conventional wisdom concerning the strength of Popular l-'ront enthusiasm during this period.

The Provincial Workmen's Association (PWA) in Canada was a successful labor organization for much of its existence. However, it began to lose member support when it was unable to effectively advance the miners' interest in the face of the changing character of the Nova Scotia coal industry. As an alternative, the United Mine Workers (UMW) proposed methods of collective agreement negotiating and business unionism instead of methods of political representations and legislative enactment. The active and growing efforts of the UMW split worker support between the UMW and the PWA, but neither organization was able to firmly organize the industry. After years of conflict, both organizations participated in moves to unite. The efforts resulted in a reestablished District 26 of the UMW. In the end, the workers endorsed the philosophy and the methods of trade unionism.
