Antonio Aloisio (November 11, 1898 - January 28, 1977) was a politician from Alberta, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1952 to 1955 and again from 1959 to 1971 as a member of the Social Credit caucus.
Aloisio first ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature as a Social Credit candidate in the 1952 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 general election and was defeated by Liberal candidate Richard Hall. He led on the first count but was defeated on second choice preferences.[2] He regained the seat for Social Credit in the 1959 election, defeating Hall by a large majority.[3]
In the 1963 general election, Aloisio faced a strong challenge from provincial Liberal leader Dave Hunter, but managed to hang on to his seat.[4] Hunter and Aloisio faced each other again in the 1967 election. Aloisio held the seat with an increase in his vote and Hunter finished a distant third.[5]
Aloisio retired from the legislature at dissolution in 1971.
