While Alberta gets used to the idea of an NDP premier, some residents are apparently planning to move to Saskatchewan or at least joking about it.

"I'm moving to Saskatchewan" tweets were all over Twitter Tuesday night.

Many of them appeared to be tongue-in-cheek orsatirical, but with others it was hard to tell.

"I'm up and moving to Saskatchewan. This just ain't the 'berta I grew up lovin'," Twitter user @Decles_18 said.

"Socialist government in Alberta could mean Sask.'s population would double," @Dallas_Erhardt tweeted.

A few responses were of the "good riddance" variety. One Saskatchewan residentproposed sealing the border, while another promised moving to Alberta to join "the socialist paradise" next door.

The prospect of various businesses moving to Saskatchewan was also raisedincluding the Calgary Flames.
