Watching the debate tonight to figure out who's the lesser of all evils. Sad that I have no faith in #abpoli anymore. #abvoteGlobal #abvote

One of Alberta best kept secret is carbon pricing. Is it enough for the provinces to do it alone or does Canada also need the federal government?

#abvoteGlobal for Mr. Prentice has the PC really thought about how the cuts to education will affect Alberta's future?

If AB used proportional representation, based on the Globa Poll (as of 6:08PM), the results would be 7PCs, 19WRs, 50NDPs, 2Libs, 7APs & 2Greens

Strange seeing such a massive switch in opinions from Blue to Orange in the province. How badly do you need to mess up to get Albertans to avoid voting PC??

Hey Kent, what about the format? how long are opening statements? is there rebuttal from other leaders on questions?

Jim Prentice said he cut MLA's pay. Isn't the pay cut voluntary? Meaning he didn't cut their pay alt all
