Manitoba Legislature Session Falls Short of Big Changes
The fourth session of Manitoba's 23rd Legislature saw limited major action with the margarine dispute settled loosely and funds added for road work and education. Indian franchise expansion and jury eligibility for women surfaced, while opposition strength remained weak. Cabinet gains, strong debates by Willis Roblin and Stinson stood out amid a generally quiet backbench, as rule changes and procedural mood shifted with Turner in the cabinet and broader government confidence.
