Could that by why AB gets ignored? Liberal/NDPs figure what's the point and PCs figure its a lock anyways?

I think that is totally true (of why Alberta gets ignored). Even the Tories are proving that point now as they pander to Quebec and Ontario for the votes.

This is why the polls are so funny to watch. The media thinks that Harper is neck and neck with the Liberals, but when you look at the regional distortion it might translate into 2 more seats. I digress however; this is not the thread to open the electoral reform can of worms!
