Well that's interesting!
Boudreau, an Alberta Liberal MLA in the early 1900s, was the only member to vote against the Alberta Equal Suffrage Act in 1916, arguing that "the place of women was in the home," and that "the duty of women, dictated by Providence, was greater than that of men and if the time had come when it was necessary that the administration of the country should be shared by them, it looked as if the men were becoming tired of their responsibility."
