Social Credit Principles, Purposes and Objectives

Social Credit is not about socialism. Quite the opposite: Social Credit is about the individual, not the collective.


Principles
  1. The individual is the most important factor in organized society, and as a divinely created being, with both spiritual and physical potentials and needs, has certain inalienable rights which must be respected and preserved.
  2. The major function of democratic government in organized society is to secure for the people the results the people want from the management of their public affairs as far as such results are physically possible and morally right.
  3. Security with freedom. Material security alone is not enough. Each individual must be secure in the knowledge that he or she is worthy, respected, equal and free, and that the freedom to choose his or her destiny is an inalienable right.
  4. Whatever is physically possible and desirable, and morally right, should be made financially possible.
Purposes
  1. To promote the principles of Social Credit.
  2. To promote the objectives of the Alberta Social Credit Party Association, as related to these principles.
  3. To promote the election of enough candidates of the Alberta Social Credit Party to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta to form the government and thus make possible the implementation of Social Credit principles.
Objectives
  1. To study and extend the knowledge of the principles of the Alberta Social Credit Party Association and their application in Alberta.
  2. To establish responsible and effective democratic government in Alberta.
  3. To oppose and expose any attempts to weaken the democratic sovereignty and the democratic institutions of the people by the means of increased centralization of power.
  4. To oppose any attempt to spread or implant the seeds of racial discrimination, class hatred or religious intolerance among the citizens of Alberta.
  5. To obtain the economic security which the vast resources of Alberta can provide for its citizens.
  6. To make poverty and privation totally unnecessary.
  7. To secure freedom from oppressive debt and taxation.
  8. To influence the provincial economy through the Alberta Treasury Branches (ATB Financial) and other provincial financial institutions through such measures as low interest loans.
  9. To provide the people of Alberta with an effective organization for obtaining information on matters essential to their welfare and for taking action to assert their democratic will.
  10. To foster, advance and promote the attainment of a humanitarian society within the framework of a realistic and responsible free economy.

Party History

Summary Social Credit governed Alberta from 1935 to 1971. During this time: the Social Credit government eliminated Alberta's debt; established the Credit Union Act and Alberta Treasury Branches to provide low-interest loans; kept Alberta debt-free and income tax-free; and encouraged local ownership and control of hospitals, schools and utilities. By Chick Hurst In order to fully understand Alberta Social Credit we must understand the history of Alberta. We must also understand the mind set of the people, past and present. This understanding must include the knowledge of the imperial power of the eastern Canadian government and the international business establishment that controlled the lives of the residents of early Alberta and, for the most part, still do. Prior to the sale of Ruperts Land from the Hudson's Bay Company to Canada in 1869, the people were indentured servants of the Hudson's Bay Company. Upon the sale they became possessions of Canada. They wer

Our Alberta Treasury Branch

By Len Skowronski The mainstream media will no doubt attack the idea of a provincially owned bank, helping create the money supply for Alberta. However, the arguments about inflation, how government will abuse the system for political reasons and so on are not valid arguments. Safeguards can easily be put in place, and indeed, have been put in place for such a bank south of the border. Lawyer and monetary reformer Ellen Brown describes what would result from an ATB that got more involved with money creation. She writes: While 49 state treasuries were submerged in red ink after the 2008 financial crash, one state’s bank outperformed all others and actually launched an economy-shifting new industry.  So reports the Wall Street Journal this week, discussing the Bank of North Dakota (BND) and its striking success in the midst of a national financial collapse led by the major banks.
