Unless you were a person who regularly voted conservative and then switched in this last election I don’t think you get to say We warned you. It’s a boy who cried wolf scenario. So pro Prentice, Anti Kenny voters can do a victory lap.

Nonsense. None of what's happened has been surprising.Let's not pretend that people were nearly as concerned about Prentice or Redford as they were Kenney. Part of that is the crazy Wild Rose component.
It's also a weak comparison. The amount of information that is easily accessible about these candidates is vastly different just in the last decade. Anyone who warned about Kenney and the UCP certainly gets to say I told you so, and it's difficult to compare that to how people felt about Ed Stelmach.
Would you say that conservative voters shouldn't be able to criticize the NDP after their Alberta run?
