The
Progressive Party of Saskatchewan was a provincial section of the
Progressive Party of Canada and was active from the 1920s to the mid-1930s. The Progressives were an
agrarian,
social democratic political movement originally dedicated to political and economic reform and challenging economic policies that favoured the financial and industrial interests in
Central Canada over agrarian and to some extent labour interests. Like its federal counterpart it favoured
free trade over
protectionism.
