What does this mean?
I'm starting to see that outside of an Orange Crush in Calgary, a minority government might a distinct possibility. Even Alberta Party candidate Kerry Cundal mentioned on Twitter this might be where the AP can hold a card.
Does Alberta fair any better if the UCP win a minority government? Is this the realistic way to contain alt-right Danielle politics without NDP votes?

A minority government requires a third party to win seats, and likely quite a few seats. Alberta Party would have the best shot, but does anyone see them as getting more than 1 or 2 at best?
You can't have a minority government in a 2 party system.
