Dear Editor

The results of the Alberta election will keep analysts busy for a long time.

They will study why and how pre-election polls are taken and when results should be made public. Political analysts will study how, when and who of political campaigning. These studies are important, but it is the results of the election that will affect the lives of the citizens in that province and even other provinces.

The Alberta election result for Quebec is good news, as that province will more likely retain four more years of "special status" and billions of equalization dollars from the West without even an "idle threat" of separation.

With Alberta results indicating a slight political shift to the left, Saskatchewan may have even more investment dollars directed their way for oil and gas resource development.
