of Grey North, coming in last place out of four candidates, with 250 votes. In 1946, Gostick founded the "Union of Electors", a social credit based provincial party that was inspired by the more radical Quebec wing of the Canadian social credit movement, the Union des electeurs. He also began his publishing activities at the same time, beginning to issue the periodical Social Credit in 1947. The Social Credit Association of Canada disowned the publication in 1950 because of its anti-Semitism. Gostick renamed the periodical The Canadian Intelligence Service in 1951. He wrote (or co-wrote) several books: Canada's Future - More Debt and Bankruptcy? Or Financial Reform and Prosperity? (2002) (co-written with Eric D. Butler) The Battle for Canada The Architects Behind the World Communist Conspiracy (1968) Canada the Moment of Truth (1978) Canada - its Glorious Potential and The Things I Didn't Learn in School A Prophecy? (1980) Zionism and the Middle Eastern Crisis ("Published as the Supplementary Section of THE CANADIAN INTELLIGENCE SERVICE", August 1958) In the early 1950s, Gostick was a public speaker at meetings sponsored by the American rightists Gerald Smith and Wesley Swift (who later founded the Christian Identity movement). Gostick founded the Canadian Anti-Communist League with a mandate of exposing the "Communist-Zionist-monopolist-finance enemy of Christian civilization." The CACL became the Canadian affiliate of the World Anti-Communist League once the larger body was formed in the 1960s. The CACL became the Christian Action Movement and later in 1967 became the "Canadian League of Rights" (CLR). B'nai B'rith described the organization as being "long-known to support racist and anti-Semitic positions". Gostick died of cancer two days before his 87th birthday.
