Well that's interesting!
A Manitoba social reformer and Labour MLA from 1914 to 1923, Dixon opposed subsidies for private enterprise, and supported direct legislation (initiatives, referendums, recalls), home rule for Winnipeg, public ownership of public utilities, a referendum on temperance, and women's suffrage. In fact, he was married to a suffragist, Winona Flett . However, he was highly critical of socialism, as he believed collective ownership would mean tyranny over the individual, whose rights he always held to be paramount.
