Wouldn't be surprised to see Aheer run with the AP. She doesn't agree with NDP policies, but also obviously doesn't agree with UCP direction. That said, I think she would only run in a guaranteed riding, and her old one isn't it (shes been pushed out by her constituency board, seems like a coup of sorts).
I also don't think she'll run in Calgary-Elbow, since Kerry Cundal is already going to be running there (and I think has a great chance of winning).
It's hard to peg what she'll do next. She could even just walk away from politics, her family has business interests she could revisit. That said, I imagine she wants to stick it to Kenney, Smith and the UCP.
I don't like her as a politician (to right-wing for me), but I can see how she's an important figure in the conservative cracks that will show over the next six months.
