“The United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) is an association of Alberta farmers that has served different roles in its 100-year history as a lobby group, a political party, and as a farm-supply retail chain. Since 1935 it has primarily been an agricultural supply cooperative headquartered in Calgary. It also was a farmers’ lobby group and a political party that formed the government of Alberta from 1921 to 1935.” [via]

The K and P Cafe in Lethbridge, Alberta (no date, from the April “Chop Suey in the Prairies” exhibit at the Royal Alberta Museum).

“Dotted across the Alberta landscape, Chinese restaurants were the go-to place for an inexpensive, quick meal whether it was a simple plate of fried onion rings or the more exotic ginger beef and mu shu pork. In looking back, the growth of Chinese cafés gradually laid a foundation as important cultural icons. But they never started out as cultural entities.

They were born out of necessity, a desperate need for a minority to find financial security in an era oozing racism. The original Chinese coffee shops were started as efficiently run businesses that provided a living and financial security to an otherwise marginalized ethnic population.”
