I see Liberal and PC lawn-signs in Calgary Varsity but have yet to see one from the WRP. The Liberal candidate, Bruce Payne, is the only one I've had any contact with via a pamphlet drop. Both he and the PC candidate, Donna Kennedy-Glans, seem to be active on Facebook and Twitter. Solinger meanwhile has a grand total of 17 likes on his facebook account, not that that is an indication of success or failure in and of itself. Payne is advertising an all-candidates forum on April 18th which I'm looking forward to.
From what little I've read about Payne and Kennedy-Glans, they both seem like solid candidates. Kennedy-Glans in particular has a very impressive professional resume. If the PCs hadn't pissed me off so much, I could easily vote for her.
If this riding votes by party like we do federally, maybe Solinger can ride a WRP wave if it continues. As of now, I'd say Calgary Varsity will go Liberal or PC.
