1-1. Those are hockey scores.

They’re currently doing that and it does not seem to be speeding things up, at least not at a rate where someone could say any benefit was significantly greater than had they opted to add more of those services under in the public system.

Again, those are public dollars paying a private service in lieu of AHS doing it itself. And potentially shady government contracts only allowing specific companies to do it.

I'm talking about allowing people to pay directly for the service and allowing other companies to come in and provide additional services. If you create a market they will come. The demand is obviously there.

It’s annoying. Calgary-Currie is still showing as 1-1.

Yet that is one of the seats the CBC is including in the “UCP leading” category.

They only report full polls, after the whole poll is counted.

Can’t really have a strong opposition in this case. Works with three or more viable parties.

Notley is working a shutout

If the UCP win (and it's looking likely so far, even this early), I sure hope the sane conservatives in that party give Smith / TBA the slip (unlikely though). If not, the internal collapse of that party into further delusional right-wing extremity, combined with the changing demographics in Alberta (the youth U-18 vote in Alberta overwhelmingly voted NDP this election), 2027 is going to look worse for them.

So private companies will come and build all the necessary healthcare infrastructure multiple times over to complete with government infrastructure?

This entire thing is rigged.

Only solution is for Smith to continue her rule of Alberta for 12 more years.

What basis would you use to say it’s not looking good? Any particular riding with meaningful quantity you are looking at?

Are they? My ballot wasn't machine readable. It was the old-fashioned mark an X and fold it up type.

Yeah. UCP win emboldens TBA and far right federal candidates as well. I think we are in for four years of Smith. Way to Berta.

If Notley departs as leader, Mr. Shepherd has some charisma:

Advance polls are machine countable, day of ballots are not.

More of a fill in the oval bubble than marking an X but ya, I hear ya.
