Albert Ralph Horner (April 26, 1913 – January 2, 2009) was a Canadian politician, retired grain producer and livestock breeder in Saskatchewan.
He served as a four-term Progressive Conservative MP under John Diefenbaker.
[1] After coming in third in an unsuccessful attempt to win a seat in the House of Commons of Canada in the 1957 general election, Horner won election from The Battlefords, Saskatchewan in the 1958 general election that returned a massive majority for John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservatives.
[2][3] Horner returned to political activity almost 35 years later when he voiced his opposition to the 2003 creation of the Conservative Party of Canada through a merger of the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance and added his name to an unsuccessful court action to block the dissolution of the Progressive Conservatives.
[4] In April 2007, Horner and David Orchard co-wrote an op-ed piece opposing the Stephen Harper government's proposal to weaken or dissolve the Canadian Wheat Board.
