Prentice spoke about his history: moving to Alberta; hockey playing roots; working 7 summers in coal mines to pay for univ. #pcldr #ableg

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 3:38:17 PM
Prentice on budgeting format: "We will present consolidated budgeting to Albertans." #ableg #pcldr

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 3:42:21 PM
Prentice on entitlements: "I will put an end to the entitlements." Will end situations where lobbyists are also paid by gov. #ableg #pcldr

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 3:43:34 PM
Prentice talking about importance of West Coast access for AB energy. Will outline more in days ahead. #ableg #pcldr #yyc

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 3:44:31 PM
We can make "I'll speak about that in the days ahead" a drinking game, but then we'd get liver damage @JimPrentice #pcldr #ableg #yeg

by Scott630CHED via twitter 5/21/2014 3:45:53 PM
Prentice: Rejects accusation there's been any bullying in PC race. "My motto in life is to be nice to people & work hard." #pcldr #ableg

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 3:46:14 PM
If #pcldr #pcaa could actually put people first, would have to turn policy process upside down. Let's see that!

by Erin Waite via twitter 5/21/2014 3:48:19 PM
Prentice says no one was empowered by him to talk to WR Leader Danielle Smith (presumably about possible merger talks.) #pcldr #ableg #yyc

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 3:48:33 PM

Delighted to see @JimPrentice in #pcldr race! He has great credentials & I am happy to support him #ableg

by Verlyn Olson via twitter 5/21/2014 4:02:56 PM
Ha! RT @MarieFrRenaud : @JimPrentice promises end to PC entitlement? Premier Hancock told us there was no such thing. #ableg #abpoli #pcldr

by Jeff_Melland via twitter 5/21/2014 4:03:24 PM
Jim Prentice officially kicks off his Alberta PC leadership run today: ow.ly/x56DU #ableg #abpoli #pcldr #pcaa

by CIVIX via twitter 5/21/2014 4:05:11 PM
According to twitter logic, Prentice's #pcldr platform = Redford's #pcldr platform = #wrp 2012 platform.

by Jessica Mitchell via twitter 5/21/2014 4:06:26 PM
Welcome to the #pcldr race @JimPrentice

Prentice emerges from behind the curtain, pledges to establish Alberta as environmental leader. calgaryherald.com/news/politics/… #pcldr #ableg

by markusoff via twitter 5/21/2014 4:16:54 PM
With promises of a smaller cabinet, this is going be fun watching the PC MLAs sucking up to #Prentice :)

by Donna via twitter 5/21/2014 4:18:41 PM
Prentice campaign says he has the support of 44 Tory MLAs. #pcldr #ableg #ejlive

by Mariam Ibrahim via twitter 5/21/2014 4:29:08 PM
From Prentice speech: We won’t damage competitiveness of oil & gas industry by unilaterally imposing costs & regulations. #ableg #pcldr #yyc

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 4:30:05 PM
Who are the nine non-conformists? #pcldr #ableg

by James Wood via twitter 5/21/2014 4:34:02 PM
Jim Prentice kicks off #pcldr campaign with 5 priorities, including ending entitlements. calgaryherald.com/news/politics/… #ableg #abpoli #yyc

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/21/2014 4:34:35 PM
Hancock has said he will stay neutral. I'm just assuming Zwoz and Redford won't endorse anyone. #pcldr #ableg

by James Wood via twitter 5/21/2014 4:34:49 PM
Both #pcldr candidates have said they will end entitlements. Wrong, only the voters can end the gravy train at #ableg , by throwing out #pcaa

by neal_gray via twitter 5/21/2014 4:36:27 PM
L'équipe de @JimPrentice affirme avoir le soutien de 44 députés, dont presque l'intégralité du cabinet. #rcab #pcldr

by Laurent Pirot via twitter 5/21/2014 4:38:01 PM
Great turn out for Jim Prentice's #pcldr launch His principals are something I can clearly stand behind. #CheckHimOut http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoLG4dZCUAAHQc4.jpg

It was great to watch @JimPrentice kick off his campaign to be #pcldr . I am happy to support him & his vision for Alberta #ableg

by Frank Oberle via twitter 5/21/2014 4:45:56 PM
Good luck @JimPrentice hopefully your campaign is both fulfilling and successful! #ableg #pcldr

jimprentice.ca/priorities/iss… The first couple paragraphs remind me of youtube.com/watch?v=B-7fox… #ableg #pcldr

by Jamie_Post via twitter 5/21/2014 6:28:31 PM
You'll be surprised to know that Nenshi & Don Iveson want to know what Jim Prentice will do for big cities. It's true! #yyccc #yegcc #pcldr

by markusoff via twitter 5/21/2014 6:40:02 PM
#ableg #pcldr Hey @JimPrentice team, looks like you need a copyeditor. Several grammar typos in this "About Jim" page jimprentice.ca/about

by stratyos via twitter 5/21/2014 6:41:56 PM
Lots of @jimprentice support on my twitter feed. I laugh because it doesn't matter who the new #pcldr is, GOA employees won't vote for them!

by Stacy via twitter 5/21/2014 6:46:32 PM
#ableg #pcldr So according to website, @RicMcIver still hasn't filed his nomination papers despite having announced. Still running, Ric?

by stratyos via twitter 5/21/2014 6:46:32 PM
After 43 years, "entitlement" and #pcaa are inextricably linked. Voting them out of office is only way to end it. #ableg #pcldr @JimPrentice

Caught our politics panel yet? Topics incl. #pcldr noms, #NDP leadership candidates & more: bit.ly/SkoqF5 #ableg #pcaa

by Alberta Primetime via twitter 5/21/2014 8:30:12 PM
RT @vsp : I would like to take a moment to appreciate the irony of Prentice promising to end entitlements in the #pcaa . #pcldr #ableg #ablib

RT @mariamdena : RT @JamesWoodHerald : Fun fact: Both McIver and Prentice originally from Ontario. #ableg #pcldr there goes the neighborhood!

by Rod via twitter 5/21/2014 8:46:57 PM
Great speech by @JimPrentice in #yyc its time to get out there and engage albertans about our future! #ableg #pcldr #excited

by KyleMLA via twitter 5/21/2014 8:53:52 PM

by KimberleyMolina via twitter 5/21/2014 8:57:28 PM
I cannot support any #pcldr candidate who is backed by *most* of the current #PCAA MLAs. #time4change #wrp
