I'm surprised Brian Jean is that low in the polls but keep in mind these are only leadership polls. I suspect it Smith wins it will push many of the red Tories (mainly in Calgary) away from the UCP. The next election will boil down to how Calgary votes.

Let's call a spade a spade: we already have a far-right wing government in Alberta. We're now poised to have a lunatic fringe extremist far-right wing government in Alberta.

We're not even close to right wing even in Alberta. Centre right at best.
