Ummmm...Who wrote this nonsense? Alberta is a Province of Canada and has a Premier as the First Minister, not a Governor. A spokesman stated: "It has become clear to us that Alberta is not simply a flash-in-the-pan oil boom economy. The opportunity of auxiliary business development and gubernatorial oversight to the benefit of the Province makes Alberta the driving force of Canada's economic engine." Main Entry: gu·ber·na·to·ri·al Pronunciation: "gü-b&(r)-n&-'tor-E-&l, "gyü-, "gu- Function: adjective Etymology: Latin gubernator governor, steersman, from gubernare to govern -- more at GOVERN : of or relating to a governor *"Premier"* is also the title of the heads of government in sub-national entities, such as the provinces and territories of Canada, provinces of South Africa, the states of Australia, the island of Nevis within the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the nation of Niue. In some of these cases, the formal title remains "Prime Minister" but "Premier" is used to avoid confusion with the national leader. In these cases, care should be taken not to confuse the title of "premier" with "prime minister". In these countries, terms such as "Federal Premier" or "National Premier" were sometimes used to refer to prime ministers, although these are now obsolete. In Canadian French, provincial leaders are known as "premiers ministres", which translated literally means "first minister". A loose translation is "prime minister".
