During his time in Parliament, he tried to get Canada a new and distinctive flag and constitution, introducing a private member's bill to amend the British North America Act. In 1945, he delivered a speech in which he argued, based on constitutional theories by self-published author R. Rogers Smith, that the constitution of Canada was defective and needed to be amended. The speech was reprinted and distributed as a booklet, Canada a country without a constitution. Kuhl's arguments implied that the federal government had no taxation authority - which formed a basis to refuse to pay income tax - and that all other government jurisdictions remained with the provinces; in subsequent decades, these concepts were used as references by Canadian tax protester and pseudolaw communities, which eventually gave birth to the "Detaxer" and freeman on the land movements.[1] Kuhl's speeches in Parliament on the constitution are also referenced by modern Alberta separatists.
