  1. Kinda amazing how many consequential outcomes in Alberta politics over the past year have been decided by votes of just over 50%

    May 2022: Jason Kenney gets 51.4% support in leadership review. He resigns.

    October 2022: Danielle Smith wins UCP leadership on sixth round of voting with 53.8% of the ballots.

    May 2023: UCP wins election with 52.6% of the popular vote.

  2. Alberta elections, historically, tend to be blowouts. Not many close contests.

    The seat margin in this year's vote is the smallest there's ever been. (11 seats separate government & official opposition, if you include Jennifer Johnson with the UCP; 10 seats if you don't.)

  3. UCP incumbent Whitney Issik is up by one vote over NDP challenger Nagwan Al-Guneid with nearly 15,000 votes cast in Calgary-Glenmore.

  4. Everyone needs to chill out about these early election results lol

    There are 10,000 ballots cast so far, out of about 2 million to likely come, and they are mostly from advance, mobile & special ballots.

    In a bunch of riding, there has been a *single vote* counted.

    To call it early would be a major understatement.

  6. 'Essentially, UCP supporters told Vote Compass they don't trust Smith all that much, but they're still going to vote for her.

    Increasingly, party identification — not policy preferences or concerns about trustworthiness — matters more in politics.

    It's become "my party, no matter what" for many partisans.'

  8. Alberta is about to enter another election campaign and one thing that's actually not all that easy to find is...

    ... the candidates!

    Seriously, it's actually kinda hard to find -- all in one place, online -- who's running where, with links to their websites/bios, etc.

    I hope to make that a lot easier with a series of interactive tools that we will launch on Monday at cbc.ca/calgary

    Here's a sneak preview...
