This paper examines two basic conceptual flaws in H. Clare Pentland's influential history of the early Canadian working class, Labour and Capital in Canada, 1650-1850. First, Pentland's eclectic use of Marxist, staples thesis, and Weberian approaches makes for a fundamentally incoherent treatment of the subject. Second, focusing on "labour" (that is, waged labour) and "capital," Pentland neglects the central features of Canada's pre-capitaiist social formations: features such as the household economy of production and direct consumption, which had little to do with waged labour or capital. Because his understanding of pre-capitalist society is so defective, Pentland is unable to deal adequately with the transition to capitalism.

What emerges is a new recognition of the vital role of Calgary workers in launching the movement. As organizers, activists and, at certain times, shock troops, Calgary workers led the Social Credit sweep through the city, then propelled it into the rural arena where it won its electoral victory.
