In Memory of a great Canadian and a true leader

I decided to post a shot of the Alberta Legislative Building that I took a couple of weeks. Yesterday former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed passed away at the age of 84. He had lead the Conservative Party to victory in 1971 and was to serve as Premier until 1985. Words simply do not do justice for what he did for Alberta and for Canada. It was announced today that his body will lie in state for two days next week before the family has a private service for him
Recently he had been voted the top Canadian Premier of the last 40 years. May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted by all of the kind words and tributes that have been coming in
