He served as the tenth Premier of Alberta from 1971 to 1985 as a Progressive Conservative. Lougheed was the grandson of Sir James Alexander Lougheed, an early senator and prominent Alberta businessman. After a short football career he entered business and practised law in Calgary. In 1965, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservatives, a party that at the time had no seats in the legislature. He led the party back into the legislature in the 1967 provincial election. Four years later, the Tories won power with 49 of the 75 seats in the legislature, defeating the Social Credit Party which had governed the province since the 1935 election. Lougheed established a Tory dynasty in the province that was uninterrupted until 2015 when the Alberta NDP won a majority government, the longest unbroken run in government for a provincial party in Canadian history to date. Lougheed was reelected in 1975, 1979 and 1982 provincial elections, winning landslide majorities each time. As premier, Lougheed furthered the development of the oil and gas resources, and started the Alberta Heritage Fund as a way of ensuring that the exploitation of non-renewable resources would be of long-term benefit to Alberta. He also introduced the Alberta Bill of Rights. Lougheed quarrelled with Pierre Trudeau's federal Liberal government over its 1980 introduction of the National Energy Program. But Lougheed and Trudeau eventually reached an agreement for energy revenue sharing in 1982, after hard bargaining. The successful Calgary bid to host the 1988 Winter Olympics was developed during Lougheed's terms. From 1996 to 2002, Lougheed served as Chancellor of Queen's University. Lougheed sat on the boards of a variety of organizations and corporations. In a 2012 edition, the Institute for Research on Public Policy's magazine, ''Policy Options'', named Lougheed the best Canadian premier of the last forty years. ==Early life== Peter Lougheed was born in Calgary on July 26, 1928, the son of Edgar Donald Lougheed (1893–1951)〔Perry, Craig 2006, pg. 520〕 and Edna Alexandria Bauld (1901–1972).〔Perry, Craig 2006, pg. 521〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peter Lougheed )〕 His paternal grandfather was Sir James Lougheed, a successful lawyer, federal cabinet minister, and senator. Sir James accumulated a sizable fortune before his 1925 death, but the Great Depression wiped out much of it, and the first years of Peter's life were spent moving from one rented accommodation to another.〔 He was educated at the Strathcona School for Boys, Earl Grey School, Rideau Park School, and the Central Collegiate Institute, all in Calgary.〔 At the last of these, he proposed the formation of a students' union, and subsequently became its first president.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peter Lougheed )〕 He also excelled at sports, particularly football.〔 Upon graduating from Central Collegiate, Lougheed enrolled at the University of Alberta, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (in 1950 or 1951)〔〔 and a Bachelor of Laws (in 1952).〔 There, he played football for the University of Alberta Golden Bears and, in 1949 and 1950, the Edmonton Eskimos.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peter Lougheed )〕 He also served as president of the Students' Union in 1951–1952 and was a writer in the sports section for ''the Gateway'', the University of Alberta student newspaper. While studying at the University of Alberta, he lived for a time in Rutherford House as a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Delta Upsilon )〕 In 1952, he married Jeanne Rogers, whom he met during his schooling.〔 Soon after the wedding, the couple went to Massachusetts, where Lougheed pursued a Master of Business Administration at Harvard University, which he earned in 1954.〔 During this degree, he worked for a summer with Gulf Oil in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he witnessed an oil boom town after the oil ran out; political scientist Allan Tupper has suggested that Lougheed saw here a possible future of Alberta.〔Tupper 205-206〕 After Harvard, Lougheed had to make decisions about his career. He believed that people should avoid excessive specialization in favour of maximizing their diversity of experience.〔Tupper 206〕 He anticipated spending time in business, law, and politics.〔 In pursuit of the first, he took a management position with Mannix Corporation, a Canadian construction firm.〔 Later, he left the company to establish a law practice.〔 During the early sixties, he began to turn his attention towards politics.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Lougheed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
