It's not an immediate solution, but if it goes through, I think it might add around 100K votes or so and be enough to potentially put pressure on certain jurisdictions?
Even if it doesn't go through, all you need to do is let the UCP sow their own seeds of disdain into that population for when they do come of age to vote.
Too bad the discussions couldn't have started just before this recent municipal election.

The UCP would never allow that, so not much point for now, other than laying ground work for a future imaginary world where Albertans don't vote blue by default.
