Alberta Progressive Conservatives and Premier Jim Prentice

: The Wildrose party appeared poised to take second place and form the official Opposition, while Premier Jim Prentice and his PCs were trailing in third, according to Toronto Star. Prentice later resigned as leader of the Alberta Progressive Conservatives. The party under leader Rachel Notley swept all 19 seats in Edmonton on Tuesday and made inroads in previously barren NDP territory in Calgary and Lethbridge. He is also giving up the seat he retained in the provincial election in Calgary Foothills. It a tectonic shift in Alberta politics, which has seen government change hands only four times since the Liberals won the first election when Alberta became a province in 1905. He says he takes responsibility for the decision that led to the party resounding defeat. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
