but maybe, just maybe, we can reduce the number of ridings the cons win here by a few. The Liberal party is, for all intents and purposes, non-existent here but the NDP party have definitely grown and become much better known since they won the previous Provincial election. They definitely have my vote both provincially and federally until the Liberal party becomes competitive here.

It looks like I'll have to watch the local polls closely to see which one, Liberal or NDP, is closest to the con.

We have a NDP representative provincially which was a pleasant surprise given the cons coming back last election.

The last I checked Notley and the NDP were ahead of Kenny and the cons. The NDP win previously was considered an 'outlier' but now Albertans know who they are and what they can do and they did a good job last time so anything is possible.

Kenny's numbers are dropping, he's not even popular with his own base right now.
