UCP isn’t winning, if they do however what does that say about the competition really? NDP had power. They aren’t entitled to power they have to earn it. If beating Smith is impossible cause your track record stinks and you won’t work to moderate you message that is on you not hick Alberta.
Same thing is playing out in the US. Joe Biden is a moron who cancelled a pipeline and now finds himself in an energy crisis. Yet still gets up there talking about killing coal last week. Dems can’t figure it out, and its their entitled mindset that is helping kill democracy down there, it isn’t just Trump.

It actually is on "hick Alberta". When all you need to do is sweep rural ridings, and you know those people will vote for the party with Conservative in the name, no matter what, it's not the NDP's fault. What you are saying would be the equivalent of trying to get Christians to switch to Islam. You may convert a few, but nowhere near enough to move the needle.
