Well that's interesting!
After the resignation of Progressive Conservative Hugh Horner from the federal seat of Jasper—Edson to successfully run for the provincial party in Lac Ste Anne in the 1967 Alberta general election, Douglas Caston unsurprisingly won in the by-election that following November against Sulatycky, a Liberal. But the surprise came when the PCs endorsed two candidates for the new riding of Rocky Mountain in the 1968 federal election — Caston and someone named Hugh Gourlay — which led Sulatycky to victory with less than 38% of the votes against the combined 48% for the PCs (with Caston coming third). This Liberal anomaly ended in 1972, however, when a future prime minister soundly defeated Sulatycky in the general election.
