The name of the 10th premier of Alberta, who won his party control in the '70s on a platform (featuring diversity in spending and preparing for a post-oil economy) all but ignored soon after, after whom the region is named, is apparently pronounced "LAW-heed".
Yeah. I'm dumbfounded too. I'll continue to pronounce it "LOW-heed" so people don't look at me funny. Bone apple tea.
