I think the underlying numbers as far as their core base are even uglier, they got many extra votes this go round because we're talking about a 4th straight election loss where the fatigue with the governing party couldn't be any higher and they were surely bumped by the frustration/alienated on track record voters they still lost - inevitable in Canada that there's a change in gov but long run the way they have been embracing the maple maga crazy people, they're going to lose 3/4 elections for another century if they just keep pandering to the extreme alberta right wingers - that #### doesn't play in numbers anywhere outside AB and maybe Saskatchewan.
Does anyone know when the results are going to start coming in this morning? It's lunchtime already out east and the special ballot tallies still aren't in, kind of crazy.
