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.

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.)

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.

Seeing some trolling defacement of election signs. How soon until this is declared something it’s not?

She has a masters in political science, ran a union, sat on town council for years (including two terms as mayor), and once ditched her car with a “follow me, I’m NDP” bumper sticker on the back.
What hashtag are we using for this? (Don’t worry, I’ll hide my posts for those of you that don’t want spoilers - or politics!)

"In time election platforms will be what they always should've been regardless of political stripe: a bonafide contest of ideas around real climate action & how Alberta can best compete in a unprecedented, rapidly changing world."
