Seeing the Sun dredge up a two-year old quote from a person who wasn't the leader of the party at that time, and--let's face it--may NEVER be the leader of the party, is the first convincing evidence I've seen that the Tories believe they could lose this riding.
I'm also a little skeptical that it could move the needle at this point. Negative attitudes about Trudeau are pretty much priced into the poll numbers at this point. He has some things going for him, but "popularity in Alberta" is not one of them. Pointing to him as though he's some eastern boogeyman that should scare people away from voting for Locke just smacks of desperation in my opinion.
