Timeline

1921

Hazen Robert Argue (January 6, 1921 – October 2, 1991) was a Canadian politician who served in the House of Commons and the Senate.

1945

He was first elected as a Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) Member of Parliament (MP) in 1945 and was the last leader of the party, from 1960 to 1961.

He was first elected to Parliament in 1945 as a member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF).

At 24 years of age, he was the youngest MP at that time.

1958

After the Diefenbaker sweep of 1958, Argue was one of only eight CCFers remaining in Parliament, and the only one from Saskatchewan.

Party leader M. J. Coldwell lost his seat, and the CCF parliamentary caucus chose Argue as their House Leader.

Both the CCF and CLC executives approved going down this route starting in April 1958.

Argue, like many grassroot CCFers, was not convinced that this merger was necessarily the best route to revitalizing the party.

As an organizing tool during this period, the organization was called the New Party.

New Party clubs sprung up around the country between 1958 and 1961.

1960

After Coldwell resigned as the national CCF leader in 1960, Argue was elected leader at the party's last convention in the summer of 1960.

At the time, the CCF was engaged in a three-year plan to create a new party from the union between itself and organized labour forces as represented by the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).

On October 31, 1960, Walter Pitman won a stunning by-election victory in Peterborough under the banner of the New Party.

This gave credibility to the forces organizing to remodel the CCF along the British Labour Party model.

1961

Argue became a candidate in the race to be the first leader of the newly formed NDP at their August 3, 1961 leadership convention.

He was up against long-time Saskatchewan Premier, and CCF favourite-son, Tommy Douglas.

Douglas had the support of the CLC, its president Claude Jodoin and CCF president David Lewis.

Douglas easily defeated him 1,391 votes to 380 votes on a single ballot.

In his concession speech, Argue declared, "No matter what my role is in the years ahead, I shall speak for you. I shall work for you, I shall never let you down."

He remained in the party's caucus, in the House of Commons, for the rest of the year, having little contact with Douglas in that time.

Six months later, Argue crossed the floor to join the Liberal Party; he argued that divisions were rife in the NDP and that farmers' interests were overwhelmed by those of labour.

1962

He crossed the floor to the Liberal Party in 1962 and was defeated in 1963.

He was re-elected as a Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) in 1962 but was defeated in 1963 and again in 1965.

1966

In 1966 he was appointed to the Senate.

In 1966, Argue was appointed to the Senate as a Liberal.

1980

He entered the federal cabinet in 1980, as the only Saskatchewan representative, with responsibilities for the Canadian Wheat Board.

He is well known for being a strong proponent of the proposed Canadian annexation of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

After the 1980 election, in which the Liberal Party failed to win any seats west of Winnipeg, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau appointed Argue to Cabinet as Minister of State (Canada Wheat Board).

1988

The RCMP alleged that he used public funds to help his wife's bid to obtain the Liberal Party nomination in their Ottawa-area riding for the 1988 Canadian federal election.

1989

He was the first senator ever to have been charged with fraud, in 1989.

The charges were eventually dropped.

His family owned a farm, which he worked until he entered the House of Commons.

In 1989, he became the first senator ever charged with misuse of public funds and fraud.

1991

The charges were dropped in 1991 by the crown prosecutor when it became apparent that Argue was near death, as he had been bedridden for most of the year with cancer.

He died three months later in Regina, on October 2, 1991.
