- February 4, 1920: Alberta's Attorney General complained that, because of the widespread forgery of liquor prescriptions, his staff were required to issue a new prescription form every second month. A new design was issued in January which was considered secure, but by the end of the month a flood of counterfeit forms had appeared. Druggists were ordered not to honor the old forms, and physicians were once again supplied with new forms
