Michener Opens Alberta Legislature With Disappointing Speech
In Kuluionton on March 1, the Alberta Legislature began its session with Mr. Michener delivering a lengthy reply to the King's speech. The opposition leader read the lines and criticized grain relief, taxation methods, and war policy while endorsing prohibition and women's suffrage efforts. The debate featured Wetaskiwin’s Mr. Montgomery and Coronation’s Mr. Whiteside delivering sharp rebuttals as Michener titled his remarks with facetious notes on government harmony. The speech condemned loan policies, affordable public works funding, and urban license practices, urging direct taxation and a plebiscite on female franchise amid war references.
