The other two leaders were also there, and are "in the middle". They agree with some things that both of the others say, but not everything. They have plans that would surely work, alas they won't be forming government (if the polls are to be believed at this point) so they can make these claims and plans and not have to worry about delivering.
I still plan to watch some, but won't play a drinking game because surely if you drink when ever you hear "pipeline", "jobs", "boondoggle", "Alberta advantage" or "fight for..." I'd be testing out our public healthcare system this evening as well.

I was about to post something very similar. I highly doubt any knockout blows will be landed on either Notley or Kenney, and everyone will say their people won. I likely won't bother to watch and catch the "highlights" later.
Alberta Party has the most to gain and lose tonight, if they can show themselves to be relevant, they might steal a few ridings in Calgary and maybe Edmonton, and make things interesting. I think many NDP voters and practically all UCP supporters would agree that if there's a minority, they want the AP holding the balance.
