Unemployed people aren't the only people who vote. Those who are employed (i.e. the vast majority of the population) will be more concerned about their taxes going up, and this will be coming off the heals of an NDP government who drove the province deep into debt. They're going to lose in 2019 no matter what, only question is will it be PC or Wildrose. I'm thinking it'll be Wildrose because Kenney is a knob like Prentice.

2003 was when the 2010 bid happened. Election was in 2004. Timing is everything. 2019 is a bad year to bid. If the mayoral race was in 2019 too that would just be a calamity for the bid committee. Needing 3 election races to go right usually doesn't end well.
