* 1933 – Don Getty, Canadian politician, 11th Premier of Alberta

Donald Ross Getty, OC, AOE ( born August 30, 1933 ) is a retired Canadian politician who served as the 11th Premier of Alberta between 1985 and 1992.

Getty was appointed Premier November 1, 1985 and returned to the legislature just over a month later in an Edmonton-Whitemud by-election.

As Premier for nearly seven years, Getty presided over some of Alberta's toughest economic times.

When Getty became Premier he left his predecessor's cabinet completely intact.

Ralph Klein, while serving as Environment Minister under Getty, commented that " If you are a minister, you run that portfolio yourself " and expressed an appreciation for the freedom that the Premier gave his cabinet.

After a party leadership election chose Ralph Klein to succeed him, Getty resigned as party leader December 5 and as Premier several days later.

As Premier, Klein positioned himself in contrast to Getty, asserting that the government had " a spending problem ", and stating that he had become Premier at a time of " uncontrolled spending ".
