The federal government's opposition to Social Credit was a significant block to Aberhart's policy goals. The federal government has jurisdiction over Canadian currency and banks, under the <a href="/wiki/British_North_America_Act,_1867" class="mw-redirect" title="British North America Act, 1867">British North America Act, 1867</a>. However, there was no constitutional barrier to Alberta producing its own currency, which Aberhart's government did to a limited degree with its <a href="/wiki/Prosperity_certificates" class="mw-redirect" title="Prosperity certificates">prosperity certificates</a>. Aberhart did threaten the power of private banks with his government's extension of the UFA government's foreclosure moratorium and mandatory debt adjustment. But a law to tax banks was overturned on constitutional grounds. Later, the government started its own banks, which carry on as the Alberta Treasury Branch (<a href="/wiki/ATB_Financial" title="ATB Financial">ATB Financial</a>). Aberhart instituted a variety of relief programs to help people out of poverty, as well as public works programs and a debt relief program that froze some debt collections and mortgage foreclosures. This, like <a href="/wiki/Tommy_Douglas" title="Tommy Douglas">Tommy Douglas</a>' similar program in Saskatchewan, was later overturned in the mid-1940s by the Supreme Court, although it aided people for a number of years during and (for a short time) after the Great Depression. Alberta's Social Credit government brought in legislation under which an MLA could be recalled by a portion of their constituents. Aberhart's own constituents, including out-of-power UFA farmers and many oilworkers working for U.S. oil companies threatened by Aberhart's Natural Resources Conservation legislation, gathered signatures for Aberhart's own recall. He thus became the first Canadian politician to be threatened with recall from office. Aberhart's government retroactively repealed the recall legislation rather than have Aberhart forced to give up his seat.<a href="#cite_note-22">[21]</a> In keeping with his evangelical views, Aberhart added a heavy dose of <a href="/wiki/Social_conservatism" title="Social conservatism">social conservatism</a> to Major Douglas's ideas. Most notably, he enacted very tight restrictions on the sale of alcohol. Indeed, the only stricter law in Canada at the time was in <a href="/wiki/Prince_Edward_Island" title="Prince Edward Island">Prince Edward Island</a>, where the sale of alcohol remained completely banned until 1948. Well into the 1960s, commercial airlines could not serve alcohol while flying over Alberta. Although Aberhart was unable to gain control of Alberta's banks, his government gained a foothold in the province's financial industry by creating the <a href="/wiki/Alberta_Treasury_Branches" class="mw-redirect" title="Alberta Treasury Branches">Alberta Treasury Branches</a> in 1938. Its operations included special credit given for those who bought made-in-Alberta goods.

Elliott reports that Aberhart's political support did not come from the sectarian groups as Mann and Irving suggest, but rather it came from the members of established churches and those with marginal religious commitment.<a href="#cite_note-CHR_Elliott_1978-25">[24]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(7)"><h2 id="Publications_and_articles_about_Aberhart">Publications and articles about Aberhart</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=William_Aberhart&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Publications and articles about Aberhart" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-7 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-7"> Historian Harold J.
