Alberta’s 47 legislature newbies meet for orientation day
EDMONTON – As Alberta’s 47 legislature newbies gathered under the dome for orientation day, Speaker Bob Wanner urged them to respect history and embrace responsibility, while adding in a dollop of advice for the modern age.
“Use social media at your peril,” Wanner told the newly-elected politicians as they sat in the main legislature debate chamber Wednesday.
“If your grandmother would not like to read your comments on the front page of the newspaper the next day, then I suggest you pause before you push send,” Wanner said.
