The election was called after the 15th Alberta Legislature was prorogued on April 11, 1967, and dissolved on April 14, 1967.Perry Footz 2006 498 Ernest C. Manning led the Social Credit Party to its ninth (and, as it turned out, final) consecutive majority government, winning 55 of the 65 seats in the legislature, despite getting less than 45 per cent of the popular vote. Although it was not apparent at the time, this proved to be an ominous sign for the party. The 1967 election was the first time the Social Credit government had won less than half the popular vote since 1955. The party won its lowest vote share since 1940. The once-moribund Progressive Conservatives, led by young lawyer Peter Lougheed, emerged as the main opposition to Social Credit. They won over a quarter of the popular vote and six seats, mostly taking seats from Social Credit in the two major cities, Calgary and Edmonton. Social Credit was slow to adapt to the changes in Alberta as its two largest cities gained increasing influence. Despite losing close to half of the share of the popular vote they had won in the 1963 election, the Liberals managed to increase their number of seats from two to three as a result of the decline in the Social Credit vote. New Democrat Party candidates received 16 per cent of the vote but no seats. Voters also decided upon the adoption of daylight saving time, in a province-wide plebiscite. It was defeated by a very slim margin with 51.25 per cent voting against. Amendments to the Election Act in 1965 provided voting rights for Treaty Indians in provincial elections, making the 1967 election the first opportunity for Indigenous Albertans to vote in a provincial election.Alberta Session Winds Up Calgary Herald April 13, 1965 1 2253686786 EdmontonAn Act to amend The Election Act, SA 1965, c 23, retrieved from CanLII on July 21, 2021 Background Social Credit campaign The Social Credit government had prepared well for the election in advance, with the party maintaining a significant war chest.Baird 1968 184 The Social Credit government came under criticism for low non-renewable resource royalty rates compared to other developed nations, which it counted by saying the royalties were the highest in Canada.Baird 1968 184 Social Credit focused on their governance record rather than make significant policy commitments, although the Social Credit government did commit to study rising car insurance rates.Baird 1968 184 Furthermore the Social Credit government argued they spent the most per capita on social issues despite having the lowest tax rate.Baird 1968 184 An internal controversy occurred when Albert Bourcier, a Social Credit MLA from 1935 to 1952 filed papers to contest the Edmonton-Jasper Place constituency against incumbent Social Credit MLA John Horan. Bourcier was still an active member of the Social Credit Party, but was ejected from the party prior to the election. It was the second time Bourcier was ejected from the party, the first being in 1949 as a sitting MLA.Socreds Again Kick Out Bourcier; Opposition To Horan The Reason Edmonton Journal May 15, 1967 14 2397632581 Horan was re-elected with 36.3 per cent of the vote, while Bourcier received 1.5 per cent of the vote.http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1967&Constit=Edmonton-Jasper%20Place Edmonton-Jasper Place Official Results 1967 Alberta general election Alberta Heritage Community Foundation May 21, 2020 July 22, 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210722035211/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1967&Constit=Edmonton-Jasper%20Place dead New Democratic Party campaign The New Democratic Party (NDP) built a campaign on the foundation of higher oil royalties, greater participation by small businesses in oil and gas resources, transition electricity utilities to provincial ownership, provide for provincial car insurance, and development of rural natural gas infrastructure.Baird 1968 184 Progressive Conservative campaign New leader Peter Lougheed and his supporters worked tirelessly to convince candidates to run in all 65 constituencies, however the Progressive Conservatives were only able to nominate 47 candidates,Perry Craig 2006 523 two more than the Liberal Party, but less than the full slate put forward by the Social Credit Party and the New Democratic Party. Lougheed sought candidates who were already public figures, often meeting with editors of local weekly newspapers, mayors and presidents of boards of trade to inquire who the community's leaders were.Wood 1985 47 As the writ came closer Lougheed and the Progressive Conservatives realized they could not defeat Social Credit, instead focusing on becoming the Official Opposition.Perry Craig 2006 523Wood 1985 57 The campaign created red, white and blue promotional materials with the slogan "Alberta Needs an Alternative", while Lougheed's own material added his personal slogan "Let's Start It in Calgary West".Wood 1985 57 Lougheed sought a public debate amongst the four party leaders, however as a long time incumbent Manning was not willing to risk a debate which could produce little benefit and much harm for the Socreds.Wood 1985 59 Manning's position on the debate changed when a group of Edmonton church leaders decided to host a leaders debate, Manning, a devout Christian and host of "Back to the Bible Hour" radio broadcasts, accepted the debate.Wood 1985 59Tupper 2004 208 Lougheed's performance in the debate was lauded by the Edmonton Journal and was credited by biographer George Wood as boosting the Progressive Conservatives in the Edmonton area, including Don Getty's improbable victory over Social Credit Education Minister Randolph McKinnon in Strathcona West.Wood 1985 60 Other media began to take notice with Maclean's stating the only politician capable of having "an outside chance of challenging Manning" was Lougheed.Wood 1985 58 During the campaign, the Progressive Conservatives called for the sale of Alberta Government Telephones.Baird 1968 184 Lougheed was subsequently elected to the legislature in Calgary-West capturing 62 per cent of the vote, and the Progressive Conservatives captured 26 per cent of the vote province-wide with five other successful candidates,Wood 1985 61 and subsequently Lougheed became Leader of the Opposition. The group of elected Conservatives known as the "original six" included Calgary MLAs Len Werry, David Russell; Edmonton area MLAs Lou Hyndman and Don Getty, and the party's only rural candidate and former federal Member of Parliament Hugh Horner.Perry Craig 2006 524 The Edmonton Journal positively remarked on Lougheed's success following the 1967 election, stating Albertans had a responsible and credible alternative as opposition.Perry Craig 2006 524 Eligibility to vote The 1967 Alberta general election had four sets of criteria for a person to be eligible to vote.

Alberta 1967 05 23 236,555 248,680 485,235 The Province of Alberta voted on its fifth provincial plebiscite. Voters were asked to endorse a proposal to adopt daylight saving time (summer time). The proposal was rejected by a very slim margin. The question was asked again in the next election, and passed at that time. Background In 1948, the Government of Alberta formally set the province's time zone with the passage of The Daylight Saving Time Act,An Act Respecting the use of Daylight Saving Time within the Province, SA 1948, c 18, retrieved from CanLII on July 21, 2021 which mandated the entire province observe Mountain Standard Time, and prevented any municipality from observing daylight saving time or any other time zone. The bill came after Calgary (1946 and 1947), and Edmonton (1946) held municipal plebiscites which approved the move to daylight saving time. Edmonton under Mayor Harry Ainlay actually began to use DLT, which was forbidden under the new law. Alberta's urban municipalities were in favour of daylight saving time and pressured the provincial government to hold a plebiscite or provide the authority for municipalities to locally observe daylight saving time. A joint motion of Calgary City Council and Edmonton City Council for a plebiscite was put to the Legislature in July 1963, with the support of Social Credit Minister and Edmonton Alderman Ethel Sylvia Wilson,Daylight Saving Vote Sought Edmonton Journal July 9, 1963 31 2396983702 without success. A further effort in March 1964 by Liberal MLA and Calgary Alderman Bill Dickie to allow the matter to be settled by a municipal plebiscite also failed in the Legislature. In the debate, Social Credit MLA William Patterson described Daylight Saving Time as "that fandangled thing", and Minister Allen Russell Patrick stated municipal Daylight Savings Time would be difficult for tourists to understand.Cove Lynne Under the Dome Calgary Herald March 11, 1964 Edmonton 1 2253643631 A motion introduced by Bill Dickie was approved by the Legislature in February 1966 to hold a plebiscite on Daylight Saving Time.Daylight Time: Legislature Votes to Hold Plebiscite Edmonton Journal February 25, 1966 15 2397521988 And on March 29, 1966, Minister Alfred Hooke introduced An Act to amend The Daylight Saving Time Act (Bill 75),An Act to amend The Daylight Saving Time Act, SA 1966, c 27, retrieved from CanLII on July 21, 2021 to permit the government to hold a plebiscite on the issue. On April 17, 1967, the Government of Alberta approved Order-in-Council 607/67 which provided the instructions for the plebiscite on Daylight Saving Time. The prescribed question was "Do you favour Province-wide Daylight Saving Time?" with the two available responses as "Yes" and "No".Alberta. Legislative Assembly 1967 272 Across Canada, by 1967, each province besides Alberta and Saskatchewan had adopted Daylight Saving Time.

Alberta's large urban communities of Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat voted in favour, while the rural parts of the province voted against the proposal. The new Progressive Conservative caucus continued to pressure the Social Credit government to provide individual municipalities the power to institute Daylight Saving Time. A February 1968 motion by Edmonton MLA Don Getty and Bill Dickie for municipal authority to institute daylight saving time was rejected by the Legislature.Alberta. Legislative Assembly 1968 68 In the aftermath of the plebiscite, the Calgary Herald blamed the defeat on "rural cousins" and the well organized Council for Standard Time, noting Calgarians voted two-to-one in favour of adopting daylight saving.Rural Cousins Defeat DST Calgary Herald May 24, 1967 1 2253765277 The editorial board for the Calgary Herald decried the failure of the plebiscite, but predicted that the province would eventually adopt daylight saving time.Another Time Calgary Herald May 25, 1967 4 2253687989 Results Do you favour province-wide daylight saving time?Alberta.
