Commercial Bank of Manitoba

Last updated

The Commercial Bank of Manitoba was incorporated in 1884 and ceased operation in 1893. The president during most of its operation was Duncan MacArthur, a businessman and politician in Manitoba. It experienced financial difficulties during most of its years of operation and suspended payment in July, 1893 because of heavy withdrawals. It never resumed operation although it was later found to still be solvent.

A prominent Canadian political figure, Alphonse Alfred Clément Larivière, was one of the directors.

During its brief history, it was a Canadian banknote issuer and the bills that still survive are collectors items.

There have been various groups in Canada that have nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party or other variations from the 1870s until the 1960s. These were usually local or provincial groups using the Labour Party or Independent Labour Party name, backed by local labour councils or individual trade unions. There was an attempt to create a national Canadian Labour Party in the late 1910s and in the 1920s, but these were partly successful. The Communist Party of Canada, formed in 1921/22, fulfilled some of labour's political yearnings from coast to coast, and then the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation - Worker Farmer Socialist" was formed in 1932. With organic ties to the organized labour movement, this was a labour party by definition.
