[edit] John Kerr
"Most authorities believe Kerr's action was illegal..." Does anyone have a source for this "fact"? Sounds like POV to me. I'm removing it until one can be provided. --gbambino 15:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] King barking up the wrong tree?
Reading this, it seems that the affair had very little to do with Canada's position in the Empire and the situation could have just as easily occurred had Canada had a monarch or President of their own. In seeking a redefinition, was King just taking advantage of the affair to push through other changes that wouldn't have made a difference? Timrollpickering 18:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article needs elaboration
There's no mentioning of Prime Minister King resigning in portest of Byng's refusal to call an election (in 1926). Byng appointing Opposition Leader Arthur Meighen Prime Minister. The Meighen government being defeated by a non-cofidence vote and thus forcing the 1926 election (which King had called for earlier, but Byng refused). This article is lacking in details, If anyone could provide sources, please try an expand this article. GoodDay (talk) 22:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC):Also, it should be added the reason the GG refused PM King's request fo an election. Due to a scandal, King's (in 1926) coalition goverment (Liberals-Progrressives) lost its Proggressives supporters & the Conservatives had the most seats in the House.
