Agreed. She doesn’t need to do anything to keep the rural vote. Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, and the outer Calgary ridings are our version of Ontario’s 905. Win these suburban voters and you win the province.
The day she won the leadership her campaign manager apparently wrote Peigan (or whatever that riding is) on the whiteboard as the target demographic. Hence the pre-election $$ handouts only for families (and seniors).
