Well that's interesting!
Kuhl was the Social Credit MP for Jasper—Edson from 1935 to 1949. His speeches in Parliament on the constitution, which argued that the federal government had no taxation authority, thereby forming a basis to refuse to pay income tax, are still referenced by modern Alberta separatists.
