Antonio Aloisio was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1952 to 1955 and again from 1959 to 1971 sitting with the Social Credit caucus in government both times.
Aloisio ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature for the first time as a Social Credit candidate in the 1952 Alberta general election. He won a comfortable majority to hold the Athabasca electoral district for his party.[1]
He ran for a second term in the 1955 Alberta general election but was defeated in a hotly contested race by Liberal candidate Richard Hall. Despite leading on the first count Aloisio was defeated on second choice preferences.[2]
Aloisio attempted to re-win his former seat in the 1959 Alberta general election. He defeated Richard Hall by a large majority to bring his seat back under Social Credit control.[3]
Aloisio ran for a third term in office in the 1963 Alberta general election. He faced a strong challenge from provincial Liberal leader Dave Hunter, but managed to hang on to his seat.[4]
Hunter and Aloisio would face each other for the second time in the 1967 Alberta general election. Hunter fell to a distant third place while Aloisio managed to increase his vote to easily win his fourth term in office.[5]
Aloisio retired from the legislature at dissolution in 1971.
