There were no lineups, but the nation at the Return Office on Jasper (Edmonton Motors) was very busy yesterday, at around 6 pm)

Very curious to see how the High River Hick's promise of $330M to the fLamers org compare to how Notley's matching promise of equal dollars to an unspecified project here as the NDP's budge line#: "Edmonton Matching Funds," of $110M for the next 3 years pans out.

Anecdotally, I haven’t heard so much political talk from non-political friends and family since ever. Moreso than 2015 from what I recall

President of Mainstreet Research shows that in 7 Calgary ridings the undecided voters are leaning toward the NDP 7 to 1.
He also suggests that less than 1000 votes could be the difference between a 45-42 UCP win and a 45-42 NDP win.

Someone needs to add another sign after that. Simply a question mark with a cry-laugh emoji.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few rural ridings to flip as well.

Articles like this drive me nuts. The reporter clearly opened up Wikipedia and scrolled through both YYC and YEG. Ok, "Alberta's largest city - YYC - Check." "Calgary Oil Capital of Alberta.....Check." "Alberta''s largest city - YYC - for the 2nd time in the same story - Check."

Perhaps Lesser Slave Lake, for starters. I'm thinking that the voting margins for the Metro Edmonton ridings will be closer.

Agreed. I still think they'll be able to flip some ridings around Edmonton, and if the visual observations are any indication, the NDP will have a really large lead in the city itself.
