Of course, it comes down to rural ridings that will carry the UCP through to their victory.

Shouldn't put too much stock into this so since it's Mainstreet, but I have noticed that the various polls in the last month have not shown the absolute dominance some thought would be the case.

So if they are right about Calgary, they are going to come out looking like geniuses. If they are wrong, then Quito Maggi might as well just fold up shop, because Mainstreet's reputation will pretty much be permanently trashed.
I think we can consider Mainstreet is a complete joke, and their polls should be disregarded as nothing but a waste of bandwidth. That's two elections in Alberta in recent years that they've been way off.
