Winston Backus
Winston Osler Backus (born October 12, 1920) is a former provincial level politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1971 to 1979. During his time in office he served as Minister of Public Works in the cabinet of Premier Peter Lougheed from 1971 to 1975.
==Political career==
Backus ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1971 Alberta general election. He won the electoral district of Grande Prairie defeating Social Credit candidate William Bowes by a few hundred votes in a hotly contested three way race to pick up the district for the Progressive Conservatives who went on to form government in that election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Grande Prairie results 1971 )〕
After the election Premier Peter Lougheed appointed Backus to the Executive Council of Alberta to serve as Minister of Public Works in his first cabinet. He would run for a second term with ministerial advantage in the 1975 Alberta general election. He was returned to office with a landslide victory, defeating three other candidates who saw their popular vote collapse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Grande Prairie results 1975 )〕
Backus lost his portfolio when Lougheed shuffled his cabinet in 1975. He served out the rest of his term as a private member in the government and retired at dissolution of the assembly in 1979.
