Alberta general election, 1979

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alberta general election of 1979 was the nineteenth general election for the Province of Alberta, Canada. It was held on March 14, 1979 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Peter Lougheed won its third consecutive term in government. Despite losing over five percentage points of the popular vote, the PC Party increased its legislative caucus, winning seventy four of the seventy nine seats. During the campaign, some Progressive Conservatives spoke of winning "79 in '79", i.e., all seventy nine seats in the legislature, harkening back to Social Credit's unofficial slogan, from the 1963 election, "63 in '63".

Social Credit held on to the four seats they had won in the 1975 election, and formed the official opposition in the legislature. Grant Notley, leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party, was the only other opposition member.
