Proud to be at work today for the good people of #yycHays . (My bosses!) #ableg On way to the Legislature.

Quick question - is anyone from #yeg going to run for #pcldr ? I mean, it is our turn. Just wondering. #ableg #yyc

If being 'severely normal' means recognizing McIvor is just another #sameold chip off the old #pcaa block, then I'm glad to be.#pcldr #ableg

Gotta love that a #pcaa #pcldr candidate feels the need to state this: "I believe that politics is not about enriching oneself". #ableg

So-Con @ricmciver 's fictional 'Martha & Henry' is not reflective of modern Alberta #pcldr #pcaa #pcldr #ableg

If Ric McIver really wanted to run a populist campaign he would have told people to "get off my lawn" instead of inviting them there. #pcldr

by canpoli via twitter 5/7/2014 10:31:15 PM
The fact that @RicMcIver needs to promise not to enrich himself if he wins #pcldr , speaks volumes of #pcaa entitlement culture. #ableg

by WrightIdea_ via twitter 5/7/2014 10:54:58 PM
While I plan to sit this #pcldr race out, im happy to see that my friend @RicMcIver is in the race as he has a lot to offer! #ableg

#ableg session is already the shortest in Canada, and now being cut back even more. Just because there is a #pcldr race, doesn't mean...

Can one of you #ableg reporters ask McIvor why he waited till now to table these docs? His boss wants to know. globalnews.ca/news/1317164/p… #pcldr

It seems @RicMcIver is offering "new" thinking if chosen #pcldr . If not chosen, he'll stick to old thinking. #abpoli #ableg

by TrondFrantzen via twitter 5/8/2014 1:13:29 PM
Ric McIver as potential premier?! Are you kidding me? I wouldn't let him near #yyc as mayor! #pcldr #ableg I forsee the end of the PC era

by Karolina Z via twitter 5/8/2014 1:49:47 PM
That isn't backed by any paper trail. RT @midgelambert #skypalace only cost us $173 ,000. Altalink mess will cost us billions! #pcldr ? #ableg

Q's for @RicMcIver : Sir, do you believe in free market economics? Do you believe that quality people will work on your campaign? #pcldr

by carter_AB via twitter 5/8/2014 2:21:24 PM
If so, @RicMcIver , who do you think you can get to work for you at bargain rates? Do you understand what you are suggesting? #pcldr

by carter_AB via twitter 5/8/2014 2:22:34 PM
I'm really not comfortable with a company knowing how I vote in an election, #pcldr or otherwise. #ableg

by Chris Harper Calgary via twitter 5/8/2014 2:29:19 PM
McIver eh! Looks like another Klein. We don't need another Klein. Will every #pcaa #pcldr candidate be from #yyc ? #abpoli #yeg #ableg

by Ridley Dolittle via twitter 5/8/2014 2:34:31 PM
Glad to see my friend @RicMcIver in the #PCAA race. He knows who the boss is. Congratulations & good luck. Now it's a race. #abpoli

#pcldr is comedic. No one can extricate themselves from current state b/c they lacked courage to speak out when they shd have #ableg #abpoli

I may have been too quick to judge @RicMcIver #pcldr . To my PC buds: I'm not going to buy a membership but maybe you should read up on him?
