I don't know which party in opposition has handled the Greenway byelection worse. The PCs appointed a candidate and then held a vote. Crazy to see them flip-flop on this in a matter of days. Then yesterday the Alberta Party announced that they were not running anyone there as they are preparing for 2019. So bizarre. How can you be considered a government or opposition in waiting when you aren't even fielding candidates? Or maybe that's better than running a candidate and getting like 2-3% of the vote.
