Timeline

1905

Alfred John "Alf" Hooke (February 25, 1905 – February 17, 1992) was a teacher, politician and writer from Alberta, Canada.

Alfred John Hooke was born on February 25, 1905, in Whitecroft, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.

1913

His family moved to the province of Alberta in Canada in 1913.

At the age of 13 Hooke left school and joined the work force as a hired hand.

He returned to school and completed his studies three years later.

1926

He became a teacher in 1926 and remained one until his election to the Alberta legislature in 1935.

Hooke joined the Social Credit movement at its beginning; he was familiar with William Aberhart through his work as a school teacher and became involved with Aberhart as a speaker on Social Credit theory.

Although reluctant at first, he was urged by people in the town of Rocky Mountain House to put his name up for the Social Credit nomination in the Red Deer electoral district.

He faced nine other candidates for the nomination and headed the polls on the first ballot, upon which six were eliminated.

1935

He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1935 to 1971 as a member of the Social Credit Party.

Of the original 1935 Socred caucus, Hooke was the only member to serve continuously in the legislature until the party's defeat in 1971.

The other four names went to the Social Credit advisory committee, which chose him to run in the 1935 Alberta general election.

Hooke defeated incumbent MLA William Payne and three other candidates with a large majority.

1940

Redistribution in 1940 created a separate electoral district for Rocky Mountain House.

Hooke ran there in the election held that year and won a clear majority on the first ballot, defeating two other candidates.

1943

He held numerous cabinet portfolios in the government of Ernest Manning from 1943 to 1968.

Premier Ernest Manning appointed Hooke to cabinet as Provincial Secretary on June 1, 1943.

1944

Hooke "came even closer than Manning in negating the differences among democratic socialism, communism, and the socialism of national socialism. Durning the Throne debate in February 1944, Hooke said: "I wonder if this is what our boys are fighting for?

They are being told today by many spokesmen in Canada that socialism is the answer to their problems.

If this is true, Mr Speaker, why send them to Europe to fight against it?

Why don't we tell them that international finance, their worst enemy, is backing the philosophy of socialism.""

Hooke ran for a third term in the 1944 general election and won by a landslide.

1945

Hooke briefly held two cabinet portfolios when Manning appointed him Minister of Economic Affairs on April 20, 1945.

He was returned with another massive majority.

1966

In 1966 NDP MLA Garth Turcott and NDP leader Neil Reimer leveled accusations of corruption and misusing public office for personal gain against Edgar Hinman and Hooke.
