Alberta Premier Ralph Klein's top political adviser and long-time confidant, Rod Love, has resigned.

Mr. Love, who was Mr. Klein's chief of staff during the 1990s, returned to his office last fall after the veteran politician was shaken by a lacklustre election campaign. Peter Kruselnicki, a long-time civil servant, has been tapped to replace Mr. Love, who is returning to the private sector.
