About Tim Buck
Timothy “Tim” Buck
January 6, 1891 – March 11, 1973
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Canada from the 1940s until the late 1950s
During the “Dirty Thirties”, at the height of the Great Depression, Buck proposed a minimum wage, unemployment insurance, and a 7 hour workday.
On August 11, 1931, the Communist Party offices in Toronto were raided, and Buck and several of his colleagues were arrested and charged with sedition. Buck was tried in November, convicted and sentenced to hard labour.
He was imprisoned from 1932 to 1934 in Kingston penitentiary where he was the target of an apparent assassination attempt in his cell the night of a prison riot. While Buck was sitting in his cell listening to the melee outside, eight shots were fired into his cell via a window, narrowly missing the prisoner.
In late 1933, Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie admitted in the Canadian House of Commons that shots had been deliberately fired into Buck’s cell, but “just to frighten him”.
When Buck was suddenly released, a cheering crowd was waiting, lifting him up to their shoulders as they paraded down Front Street chanting his name. Days later at Maple Leaf Gardens a crowd of 25,000 saw him speak.
Many believe the incident contributed to the downfall of R. B. Bennett’s Tory government in the 1935 election.
