"CTV is protecting Rachel Notley will return to the Premier's office with an NDP majority."
Turn off your brain, pick whichever of those announcements makes you feel the least icky, and vote for it.

Good example. My feeling in both situations would initially be a bit of despair and hope that it won't be a bad as I think it might be.
In reference to the NDP, I'd hope they would deliver on the majority of their promises and would not make rash decisions. I'd hope things would be well thought out and perhaps after further analysis they would pivot from some of their promises if that was the right decision after seeing the details. I'm worried that they are making too many promises to gain votes...
For the UCP, well, I guess I'd hope Danielle Smith would be forced out... but that wouldn't be enough... several other candidates would need to go too.
