Talk:United Farmers of Alberta

Information Confliction

This article states that the United Farmers of Alberta ended prohibition in 1923 however the Prohibition in Canada article states that prohibition ended in 1924. Whether it was misworded or one or the other is incorrect I don't know. There is, however a conflict of information which is a problem. Smile =D (talk) 19:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I will try to double check a source on this later, but there isn't necessarily a conflict. UFA might have overturned a provincial law, while Prohibition in Canada might be referring to a federal law. Resolute 20:30, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

My best understanding from Franklin Foster's biography of John Edward Brownlee is that the plebiscite ending prohibition took place in 1923, while the legislation actually repealing it - the Government Liquor Control Act - came into force in 1924. Steve Smith (talk) 20:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

No, the article was about Canada but it mentioned it as Alberta; seperate from federal law. Smile =D (talk) 00:09, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

What is cardlock?

Anyone?? I googled it a bit but didn't much more than it's fuel. --AW (talk) 06:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

A Cardlock is an automated(un-staffed) gasoline pump that can be acessed by use of a special "fuel link" credit-card-style card sometimes used in conjunction with a normal credit card, well-suited to relatively-sparse use by self-suficient farm folk who don't need to buy the snacks, trickets, etc. available at staffed service stations in urban settings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.225.148 (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Any documentaton of Stewsrt being asked to be UFA Premier

No history book that I have consulted (and I have seem most of the books written on the UFA) mentions the UFA caucus asking Stewart, the premier thay had just deposed from power to stay on as premier. It is hard to imagine a group of elected MLAs who were disinclined to have even as farmer-oriented a lawyer as Brownlee to be premier to allow a former Liberal premier to be their leader. Sounds like some kind of family legend or Liberal propagaganda. Tom Monto, Edmonton — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.225.148 (talk) 23:09, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
