History lesson

Resident clarifies the political affiliation of Agnes MacPhail

I see that Colin Mayes still hasn’t boned up on Canadian history yet. Agnes MacPhail was never a Conservative.

She was elected as a Progressive, an agrarian party which was  progressive as opposed  to conservative before there was a Progressive Conservative party.

Ms. MacPhail eventually became a member of the CCF.

She’d turn in her grave at the suggestion of being associated with Mayes’ anything but progressive Conservatives.
