Albertans living west and north of Edmonton have seen the impact of environmental destruction from wildfires. Please think about candidates who will protect the environment when you go to the ballot box.
Janet Brown pollster expecting UCP victory with 52 seats.
Smith's popularity has gone up, Notley's down so now at the same.
Pollster figures NDP ran a poor one-note campaign focused too much on Smith not being trustworthy. Was Notley too nice in the debate?
Hope the numbers are wrong.

Alberta Election Tests Conservatives’ Hard-Right Turn
The pandemic took the conservative party in the oil-rich province of Alberta far to the right. An election on Monday will test if voters, traditionally among Canada’s most conservative, will follow.www.nytimes.com
Main issue with the Janet Brown poll is it mentions:
- no gender gap when it comes to vote intentions
- 18-24 is heavily voting UCP.
Both defy demographic trends in the rest of North America and even in Alberta in 2019. Unless something horribly crazy does happen, this poll is really hard to take seriously, and it's unfortunate since Janet Brown is the gold tier for polling in this province.
Both Mainstreet and ThinkHQ have different numbers, and Stephen freaking Carter is casting doubt on the Brown Opinion Poll.
If that age group bothers to show up -- they are notorious for not voting... we'll see.18-24 is heavily voting UCP.
