Ethnic Ukrainian Peter Miskew was born in 1899 in Galicia, and moved to Alberta in 1902 when his parents bought a homestead in the St. Michael area. Miskew obtained his teaching certificate and taught in Smoky Lake while pursuing further studies at the University of Alberta. Miskew ran as a UFA candidate in the electoral district of Victoria in the 1930 Alberta general election and won. Miskew crossed the floor and joined the Liberal Party following the Brownlee scandal. He did not run in the 1935 Alberta general election.
