EDMONTON — Peter Lougheed, who muscled Alberta onto centre stage in this country in the 1970s and ’80s, won by a landslide in a national search for Canada’s best premier, while Ontario’s Bill Davis came in second.
Mr. Lougheed, 84, who founded Alberta’s 41-year-old Progressive Conservative dynasty, ran far ahead of the pack, taking top scores right across the country on leadership skills, including from Ontario experts on the 30-member panel that ranked the premiers, said Ian MacDonald, editor of Policy Options, the magazine of the Montreal-based Institute for Research and Policy Options.
