On Tuesday, I attended a Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce featuring Premier Christy Clark. She talked the talk of fiscal responsibility, but the walk… well, that’s been harder for her.

I tweeted the speech live. For the uninitiated, Twitter restricts messages to 140 characters. @christyclarkbc is the Premier. #tccofc is a search term meaning  Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce. And #bcpoli is a search term for BC politics. Here are my tweets from Tuesday, if you're interested in a little play by play recap:
