Howard Ferguson
Howard Ferguson was a prominent Canadian politician who served as the Premier of Ontario from 1923 to 1930. Leading the Progressive Conservative Party, he is known for his strategic political maneuvers that helped solidify the party's influence in Ontario during his tenure. Ferguson's leadership style combined populism with pragmatic policies, notably his decision to end prohibition in 1927, which established the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). His political legacy is marked by his efforts to foster economic growth and reduce American economic influence on Canadian trade, a challenge that resonates with contemporary politicians like Doug Ford.
