Interesting.

That might be the feeling in Calgary.

In Edmonton there is currently zero alternative to them. The PCs are absent. Everyone knows the Liberals are done. The Alberta Party talks a good game and Clark seems to be a good MLA, but they are not putting any policy or taking steps to increase their profile and base. They talk a good game, but no one is sure of what they stand for. The WR - it's so bad up here for the WR it is tough to describe.

That leaves the NDP as the only organized, funded, and visible party in Edmonton. I said it before the last election: there was only one party attending the community events, on the ground, month after month. It was the NDP . The only time most voters heard from any other party was in the election period. That doesn't bode well.
