For the record, I'm not advocating that the Premier should earn $5,000,000/year like many Canadian CEOs do (although I do think that, optics and petty populist politics aside, one could make a reasonable argument for that.) However, I don't think that Alberta's Premier is paid very well. The Premier earns significantly less than a Provincial Court judge, for instance. That's ludicrous.

Also, the position pays about a third as much as Gary Mar has been receiving.
The real money seems to come from losing the leadership race. (I wonder if that is Lukaszuk's plan)
