Anyone voting for Smith doesn't care about facts anyways, so what exactly is the NDP supposed to do?

You over estimate the interest of the average voter.

I think a meaningful portion of voters are uninformed or low information voters. So they might have checked in on some articles and clips on who won the debates, have always voted conservative, Smith didn’t act like a Jack ass so go back to their priors of NDP wastes money UCP benefits my pocketbook and that’s it.

No election advertising I have been subjected to refutes that statement or tells me that the cons spend just as much and we get less.

I don't know if this was intentionally set up, but it seems kind of greasy. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but in my riding, Calgary Currie, Janet Eremenko is the NDP candidate. Right above her on the ballot is Jason Avramenko, whose name is exceptionally similar.

I had to do a double-take when I saw the ballot but I almost think that might be a made up name... Or they found some dude with as close a name as possible to J.E. and got him to run in this riding to fool people who don't look at the ballot closely enough.

On the Alberta Party Facebook page it looks like he ran in Chestermere-Strathmore in 2019.

Went to cast my useless vote I'm sure in Chestermere-Strathmore. Was nice to take my son to vote in his first election though.

"I don't like any of the candidates".. ah welcome to life.

Heavy turnout in day one of advance polls, significantly higher than in 2019.

The wife and I were in and out in Huntington Hills in less than 10 minutes after work.

Easy peasy.

We really should've founded a United Conartist Party and gotten as many Danielle Smith's to register as possible. (I know Smith will only be on the ballot in her riding, but I bet this would still steal a few hundred votes in most ridings.) It would actually be interesting to see the results on that.

I've said it before but I wouldn't have a problem paying for the "Conservation" Pass if it truly was conservation and all of Kananaskis was turned into a protected area. But to charge for it and allow industry is the worst of both worlds.

Pawlowski's new party is just another grift. He got kicked out of the other one for using party events to fundraise for his church (allegedly).

Maybe they should clearcut McLean Creek because apparently it doesn't count or something.
