- Independent_Citizen's_Association abstract "Independent Citizen's Association was a short-lived political party and lobby group in Alberta, Canada.The political party had its only representation in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, when John P. Page, an independent Member of the Legislative Assembly, joined the party shortly before the 1948 election, and became its president.The association was created as a lobby group to promote independent candidates before the 1940 general election.The Independent Citizen's Association was funded by the "Unity movement" coalition between the Liberal and Conservative parties. The association placed campaign ads in the daily newspapers of Alberta attacking the Social Credit government and supporting "independent candidates". The campaign ads typically read: "Be Independent of the new "Social Order". Vote Independent! Paid for by the Independent Citizen's Association of Alberta."Coming out of the Great Depression, the association was effective at getting its message across to voters who were tired of old-line parties. 19 independents were elected in the 1940 election.The Independent movement declined in the 1944 election because of a booming war-time economy, and because Albertans opposed to the socialist Co-operative Commonwealth Federation rallied to the Social Credit Party, according to editorials and letters-to-the-editor of the day.The Independent Citizen's Association folded after the 1948 election, when it became clear that the Independent Unity movement was all but history, and John P. Page was defeated.".
