Did you listen to Taft's concession speech?
He started off listing the groups that support and vote for the Liberal party. Educators, medical professionals, arts groups, etc. last on the list was business leaders. Went on to say the Liberals would carry on the fight for the average Albertan. I think it was clear the average Albertan did not support him.
