I get that the spectrum in Alberta is heavily tilted to the right, but the NDP is only far left if you remove.... basically the entire left. Anyone who honestly says that they are a centrist in Alberta would not touch the UCP with a thirty foot pole.
I would even argue that the NDP is basically a Lougheed-era Progressive Conservative party. The conservative movement in Canada, both the UCP and CPC, have taken hard turns to the right post-mergers, leaving the centre (and even the centre-right) behind.
