The number of NDP/CCF governments in Canada at any given time since the first one in 1944
1 July 10 1944 May 22 1964 Sask
0 May 23 1964 July 14 1969 last time no NDP govts
1 July 15 1969 June 29 1971 Man
2 June 30 1971 Sept 14 1972 Man Sask
3 Sept 15 1972 Dec 22 1975 Man Sask BC
2 Dec 23 1975 Nov 24 1977 Man Sask
1 Nov 25 1977 Nov 29 1981 Sask
2 Nov 30 1981 May 8 1982 Sask Man
1 May 9 1982 May 28 1985 Man
2 May 29 1985 May 9 1988 Man Yukon
1 May 20 1988 Sept 30 1990 Yukon
2 Oct 1 1990 Oct 31 1991 Yukon Ont
3 Nov 1 1991 Nov 4 1991 Yukon Ont Sask
4 Nov 5 1991 Nov 9 1992 Yukon Ont Sask BC
3 Nov 10 1992 June 26 1995 Ont Sask BC
2 June 27 1995 Oct 18 1996 Sask BC
3 Oct 19 1996 Oct 4 1999 Sask BC Yukon
4 Oct 5 1999 May 5 2000 Sask BC Yukon Man
3 May 6 2000 June 5 2001 Sask BC Man
2 June 6 2001 Nov 21 2007 Sask Man
1 Nov 22 2007 June 18 2009 Man
2 June 19 2009 current Man Nova Scotia
This should rise to three shortly with the election of the NDP in BC. The current polling seems to indicate the NDP are likely to lose power in Nova Scotia which is likely to have an election this fall. It seems improbable that the NDP will win the next Ontario election which means we are likely to see only two NDP governments through to October 2015
Since July 10th 1944 the CCF/NDP has been in power in either Saskatchewan or Manitoba almost all the time expect for five years in the late 1960s and then for three and a half years from May 20th 1988 to November 1st 1991
