EDMONTON – Alberta’s 47 new provincial politicians gathered at the legislature today to learn the ropes of their new jobs.

Legislature Speaker Bob Wanner, talking to them in the debate chamber, dispensed advice ranging from respecting political opponents to watching their diets and being careful about posting on social media.

Most new members are with the United Conservatives, who won a majority government in last week’s election.

Three newcomers will join Rachel Notley’s NDP on the Opposition benches when the house resumes sitting next month.
