POV Marker

[edit]

I've added a POV marker to this article, on the grounds that it completely omits discussions about actual policy decisions made by the premier, and spends a disproportionate amount of time celebrating his (hotly contested) legacy. The entire article contains only two lines on his policies, but spends two paragraphs on the Premier's "Honors," and another two on his heart condition and his funeral. It contains no details of the NEP debate, which was in many ways costly and embarrassing for Lougheed's administration. It at no point includes accusations of pro-Alberta and naturalist xenophobia which dogged his career, or of the many accusations of corporate rent-seeking resulting from his personal stake in the oil and gas industry. This article has not been significantly revisited in years, and requires a significant overhaul before it can be considered impartial. —Anonymous 13:12, 11 Nov 2018 (UTC)

[edit]

These two excerpts are cribbed from the Canadian Oxford Dictionary, 1st ed. (1998) and 2nd ed. (2004):

"After two years playing with the Edmonton Eskimos and a brief period practising law, he was elected leader of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party in 1965. The party, which had not been a political force for over 40 years, became the opposition in 1967 and won 49 of 75 seats in 1971" "As Premier, he encouraged development of oil and gas in the province while increasing royalties paid to the province, and started the Alberta Heritage Fund."

Would someone like to verify this? The C.O.D. is not on-line. Reported here: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#August_29. But I admit that the Wiki technicalities for copyright violations are beyond me. —MarkB 12:41, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

His leadership == good hockey teams?

[edit]

Why is it relevant that the Flames and Oilers were great during his terms in office? I can understand giving context for the times but this doesn't seem to be terribly important, unless it somehow relates to some kind of hockey program he put in place.

It doesn't relate at all, so I deleted it. --62.167.60.176 (talk) 23:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So when did he take silk which is usually an honour for which one has to work pretty hard?Bedwasboy (talk) 10:31, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alberta Prime Minister Template

[edit]

Could someone please fix it? When I was trying to correct a problem that was there due to the article not being updated; I somehow put that template in an awkward position and I don't know how to get it to a correct one after trying about 5 times (as well as putting in other article changes). --Thebirdlover (talk) 02:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And many gaps in information

[edit]

I came to this page as an Albertan who remembers well Lougheed's arrival in power, but I wanted to review the details of his programs of legislation, the issues and context of his opposition to the National Energy Program, and the changes to major government departments, such as to Education and Health Care, under his tenure. Please, add a great deal more information. Janice Vian, Ph.D. (talk) 16:31, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
