An urban vs. rural battle is developing quickly, and this is terrible news for the conservative party with all of the new people (and voters) flooding into the two major cities of Alberta.
Watching the news last night I saw they were running a survey which said something like "Will the alberta tories lose power after the next provincial election?". In my opinion there is very little chance of this occuring, however, I wouldn't be surprised if the liberals push 30 seats come next provincial election.

Based on this logic I'm glad that all the seats outside of Edmonton and Calgary currently sit at 42 of the 83 seats, because these areas will be a lot more difficult to sway to vote Liberal.
