Seems like a prevailing Liberal sentiment in this thread which surprises me with most of us I assume in Alberta. I am a lifelong conservative voter, but voted for Liberal for the first time in my life today. Carney does seem extremely qualified and I think for the first time we have a liberal leader who can captures more of the economic conservative, slightly right leaning individuals like myself. I am definitely fiscally conservative, but I do appreciate that social programs have their purpose and benefit, and Carney seems like a great candidate to capture those more centred viewpoints like myself. Before Trudeau resigned, that wouldn't have been possible.
I voted for the first time in Turner Valley since we moved there last year. Based on the amount of cowboy boots and plaid shirts in the voting line, I do think my vote likely won't mean much... haha. Maybe I'm stereotyping too hard. It will be interesting to see how the vote split goes, especially in Alberta IMO.
