So I went to the candidates websites...
Scott Arnott (lib) - worked for Suncor, Atco and Deloitte as a CPA and CFA. Qualified and experienced to help energy industry break through inter- provincial trade. Damn, exactly what I want. Seen 1 lawn sign and i think it was his house.
Shuv Majumdar (cpc) - website doesn't have a bio. Wikipedia says he met polli-b at a U of C conservative club. Most known for being a part of the kamikaze candidate scandal. Worked for some right wing think tanks. No notable experience of any kind.
Pretty tough call here guys. I love how the party of common sense tells you exactly who they are in the most up front ways.
Also, a true f u to the city running such a weak candidate in a stronghold. Just another indication that alberta has made itself politically irrelevant through subservience to a single party.

Alberta conservative politics is a true "swamp". When you know you can almost guarantee a win, you don't need to be a good candidate, you need to be a good lil Party shill. Jobs/business will flow after all that.
Meanwhile the smart, savvy, and astute people are running away from the UCP/CPC and their trash rhetoric
