Prentice says his budget is the only plan that can save us....well, solve our problems, anyway. #abvoteglobalby LunaCee73 via twitter 4/24/2015 1:42:14 AM -
Notley's plan is a fluffy white unicorn with rainbows shooting out of its hind end. Sounds beautiful, but completely not real. #abvoteGlobalby MABurnison via twitter 4/24/2015 1:42:18 AM -
Prentice saying "I listen to Albertans" has signalled the start of Opposite Day. #abdebate #ableg #abvote #abvoteGlobalby Trevor Holcek via twitter 4/24/2015 1:42:21 AM -
Notley’s remark re Jean on coalition was devastating: Stomp off into the corner & not talk to anyone, not ready for leadership #abvoteGlobalby Jonathan Skrimshire via twitter 4/24/2015 1:42:24 AM -

Again, Swann, is more into talking points than answering question directly. #abvoteGlobal #abvote #yegby vinesh pratap via twitter 4/24/2015 1:42:32 AM -

Swann raises a good point about the constant reorganization of health regions and the chaos that has caused in the health care system. Stability is key. - Guest Contributor

Also, the leaders must look into the camera when answering questions, unless they're addressing someone specific. Prentice and Notley are best at this. - Guest Contributor

Not sure who's winning, but Global moderators are losing (control). Clearly Prentice and Notley are colluding to take the focus away from Jean. Global is letting Notley speak at undue length. She's an excellent speaker and plays into Prentice'so strategy. -
