April XXIInd, MMXIX
Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA-Elect, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-North West
Dear Dave:
I just love the idea of letter writer & reader to The Edmonton Journal of a Mr. Milton Feathersmith. An Iroquois man from Ontario, Milty immigrated to Alberta a few years ago. He suggested to me that Hon. Judge Premier Dave Hancock, B. A., LL. B., QC, one of your predecessors as Education Minister (& the Ist Minister I wrote to in this blog) & later Premier swear in Hon. Jason Kenney, PC, Premier-Designate, MLA-Elect, United Conservative, Calgary-Lougheed as XVIIIth Premier. It would not be strange to have the XVth Premier swear in the XVIIIth nor would it be unprecedented.
Especially when you consider that XXIXth US President Warren Harding, Republican-Ohio appointed his predecessor, the XXVIIth US President William Taft, Republican-Ohio as the Xth Chief Justice Of The United States Supreme Court & swore him in. We have here a predeccessor swearing in a successor Premier: the very reverse situation of Harding & Taft! So as Milty points out on April XXXth, MMXIX we have a chance to make great Alberta political history here by having a Premier swear in a Premier. This would surely please students of the law, not to mention centrists & leftists in the UCP coalition as Hancock came in under difficult circumstances as Interim Premier to calm things from his predecessor's troubles & was quite superb in the job.
