#abvoteGlobal the one thing that really gets me about these debates, it's so easy to pick on the current leader...by Lesley Moran via twitter 4/24/2015 12:40:05 AM -

Leaders were not given these questions in advance. They have to rely on their prep to answer them on the fly. #abvoteGlobalby Chris Bassett via twitter 4/24/2015 12:40:18 AM -

"An investment in education is always a good one" @RachelNotley #abvoteglobalby aditrao via twitter 4/24/2015 12:40:26 AM -
"200 new schools in process" does not equal "being built" and definitely not "adequately staffed" #abvoteGlobal @JimPrentice #abvoteby Allison Stewart via twitter 4/24/2015 12:40:52 AM -
I'm looking forward to the first leader seizing an opportunity and dropping the script to make a hit. #abvote #abvoteglobalby atypicalalbertn via twitter 4/24/2015 12:40:52 AM -
As a supporter of a minor party, it's hard for my vote to have an impact in our first-past-the-post system. Too bad that the issue of electoral reform likely won't get any air time.

Impressions so far: Prentice on defensive, Notley doing well, Jean also doing OK, Swann... well, he's trying. #abvoteGlobalby kylejhutton via twitter 4/24/2015 12:40:57 AM -

It says a lot about this election that the school boards have banded together to take the PCs to task over the lack of school board funding. - Guest Contributor

Teacher's salaries have seen ten years of record growth and are some of the most expensive in the world. #abvoteGlobal #abvoteby Peter Casurella via twitter 4/24/2015 12:41:28 AM -
We need to talk about that sheet of paper either Prentice or Notley dropped... #abvoteglobalby Mike McKinnon via twitter 4/24/2015 12:41:28 AM -
Prentice talks a lot. He says nothing, but he talks a lot #abvote #abvoteglobalby scbritton via twitter 4/24/2015 12:41:31 AM -
The NDP and Liberals keep talking about extra funding. I would like to know how they will pay for it #abvoteGlobalby Gottahrdt via twitter 4/24/2015 12:41:44 AM -

Prentice interrupted the moderator. Research shows that audience members disapprove of such behaviour, because it violates both the turn-taking norm and politeness norm in Canadian society. - Guest Contributor

"Man, I wish it was easy to support schools as it is to build icebridges" Brian Jean probably

IMO so far its 10 and one half points to Notley, 3 for Brian, 2 for Swann and negative points for jim whats his name. Jim looks nervous, and hes twitchuing a bit up they while his eyes are shifting all over the place. . .

Nineteen school boards raised concerns this week that growth of the student population, expected to be 12,000 students in September 2015, is not accounted for in the PC budget.
“We have thousands of new youngsters arriving at our schools. They need funding, they need teachers, they need classroom support, they need maintenance funding,” Michael Janz, chair of the Edmonton Public School Board told the Edmonton Sun. - Guest Contributor

REALITY CHECK: Classroom sizes don't meet guidelines from Commission on Learning. Nearly all boards over at K-3. #abed #abvote #abvoteglobalby atypicalalbertn via twitter 4/24/2015 12:42:23 AM

#abvoteGlobal. Prentice will spend this time attacking NDP. Let the fear mongering begin!by mckylor via twitter 4/24/2015 12:43:01 AM -
However, I can't help but agree that class size is becoming a problem. #abvoteGlobal #abvoteby Peter Casurella via twitter 4/24/2015 12:43:02 AM

They can build all the schools they want, but where are the teachers going to come from?

Jean will tell boards how much they get alright. LESS every year
