Alberta election 2015: Twitterverse reacts to news of spring vote
Inappropriate music choice? Cinco de Mayo election parties? Albertans react to today's election announcement.
Cinco de Mayo, Nickelback references surface after election call
The election announcement today had Albertans from across the province weighing in online.
Some people lamented the lack of change in Alberta's politics, which has seen the PC party in power since 1971, and the cost of an election that may not bring much change.
Others held a lighter view by poking fun at the election date — which will be on Cinco de Mayo — or the loud blast of the unedited version of Nickelback's Burn It To The Ground that was playing prior to Prentice's election announcement Tuesday morning.
"I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me. Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, shit faced," blared the tune during the event in Edmonton.
Here is a roundup of some of the reaction.
