Premier Jim Prentice doesn’t appear to be putting much stock into recent polls from Mainstreet Technologies that show it’s a three-way race between his party, the NDP and the Wildrose.
Specifically, the Premier was asked to respond to numbers that show two thirds of Albertans disapprove of the early election call.
“These are challenging times, there are tough times and we have tough choices to make,” he said. “Faced with the financial circumstances that we have, faced with the job losses that we’re seeing in the province and more were announced today, we need a government that has a mandate.”
Prentice adds the province is in need of a long-term plan and challenged other opposition leaders to do the same, letting Albertans make the final decision.
