Mourning Former Eskimo and Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed

Last Thursday, Alberta lost a legend with the passing of Peter Lougheed. The man who was highly regarded as one of the best premiers in Canadian politics played for the Eskimos from 1949-1950.

@56Parkies: very sad to hear the news just now. Godspeed number 30.
