Talk:Alberta Social Credit Party

I was living in Edmonton at the time ( 1925 - ) and William C Aberhart was the respected principal of Crescent Heights High School in Calgary. He was also associated with the Alberta Prophetic Bible Institute where E.C Manning became a student. He gave lectures and led worship at the Institute but was never an ordained minister of the Baptist Church or any other.

The description of the relationship between UFA and Social Credit in the initial stub was erroneous. In fact, Social Credit ran against and defeated UFA in 1935. It was only after this defeat that UFA withdrew from electoral politics.


 * "It is one of the best, if not the best, debut performances for a party at any level in Canada." Can we get some actual info here instead of some lame factoid? Also, after the party won its first election, I believe Aberhart won the by-election much sooner than a year later. I will check up on that. The Fwanksta 02:47, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Leadership
According to an article I found, Len Skowronski was defeated as leader at their 2016 AGM. Jeremy Fraser appears to have replaced him. (http://daveberta.ca/2016/07/anti-abortion-social-credit-party/) As the party doesn't have a large online presence, someone will have to contact Elections Alberta to find out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.151.53.2 (talk) 22:14, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
