They're in big trouble in Calgary-Centre and in trouble in Calgary-Skyview (Darshan Kang) and Calgary-Confederarion (Matt Grant).
Like Hehr, Kang is already a Liberal MLA with a lot of riding overlap and is very popular. In an area of the city that seems to vote heavily along racial and cultural lines the CPC AT be hard pressed to find a similarly influential candidate.
Grant probably has it in tougher than the others but that riding seemed almost gerrymandered to produce a Liberal victory. Lots of Ward 7 overlap and some Liberal provincial riding overlap, it is there for the taking. Grant may not be a big name in the political scene he is a pretty active member of the community and seems fairly charismatic (and will have some big name support in the riding as well).
I'd say the likelihood of 3 ridings in this city going Liberal is high.
