The Second Provincial Election

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

April VIIth, MMXIX

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., Minister of Education, New Democratic Candidate, Edmonton-North West

Dear Dave:

Executive Dissertations would be rather remiss if we didn't mention that Prince Edward Islanders are headed to the polls on Tuesday, April XXIIIrd, MMXIX, exactly a week after the Alberta Provincial Election results are counted. Unlike Quebec, at least Prince Edward Island (PEI) truly wants to stay a part of Confederation & is not a leech like la belle province & Islanders treat the Province Of Alberta & Albertans with respect, not like Quebec that treats us as a money pit to bleed from.

Premier & Liberal Leader Wade MacLauchlan called the election early to avoid a conflict with the Federal Election which will be called in September (or before) for the IIIrd Monday in October as per federal "fixed term" legislation. As well as to prevent a severe shortage of volunteers which their surely would be. As a former President of the University Of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Wade wants to carry a strong educational focus into a IInd consecutive term as Premier.

Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Barker seems to have the current lead with his environmental focus while New Democratic Leader Joe Byrne wants to "make the world a better place." Progressive Conservative Leader Dennis King notes that the election is "about the people." Which is true as its their votes that will control Island governance for the next term.

There Is No Place On The Island That Is More Than 16 Kilometers From The Sea,

Rory
