A lot of my friends who have in the past shown no interest in politics are out there and engaged and trying to get all their friends out, and none of that is good for Harper. I think in Calgary alone there is a good chance 4-5 of the 10 ridings go red, not good in a city where last election every CPC candidate won at least 56% of the vote.

I agree with your assessment that the I hate Harper voters will be out in droves but have to disagree on the comment that the conservative voters in Calgary and rest of Alberta will be staying home , this is by far the most engaged that I've seen co workers and friends talking about and making a point to vote and they are almost all voting conservatives, I attribute this to the dissatisfaction they have with the NDP provincial win.
I think Albertan conservative voters got lazy since they almost always win both provincially and federally , people didn't really make a point to vote. The NDP was a wake up call.
Calgary may still get some red seats but I think voter numbers will be up on both sides of the spectrum .
