It certainly didn't hurt them. Some districts were fairly close, like Calgary Bow and Calgary Northwest. Close enough some of those could have been decided on a single issue. And it's not just points gained from the deal, it's that if Notley had come out against it she definitely would have lost votes. It would have been an attack point. Do you think Smith would have handed out money like this in Calgary if it hadn't been the month of an election where she was down in the polls? Do you deny this was Smith attempting to buy votes with our tax dollars?
