I work in Rachel Notley's riding, but live in a heavily conservative riding. Shockingly, there are orange signs on my street! Last election I didn't even see any in the whole town.

I'm not putting much faith in the polls either, like any Albertan after the last election, but I'm excited to see what happens on May 5. I voted early today, so I've done my part.
