And when you look at last nights election results, do the Liberals really believe they can even win a single seat in Alberta? Maybe in Edmonton, but certainly not here or anywhere else.
Basically Alberta still is more or less not important to Liberal election hopes. They have enough potential seats in Ontario and Quebec alone to have a minority government and even potentially a majority. If they can pick off enough seats from Atlantic Canada and BC, they realistically can thump the CPC without any support from Alberta or Saskatchewan.

You do realize you are talking about a party, which has 35 seats, and just proven in 3 by-elections that it couldn't win a seat in a situation that is a common one for protest votes, right?
I think talk about the Liberal party thumping anyone should be reserved until there is some actual indications that they will still be considered an official party after the next election.
