Yes I don't think much of any of these candidates. I don't think Kenney is trustworthy, I think Notley is a failure, Kahn is just not relevant, Mandal has done a decent job, but he's passionless.

to be fair, they're all guilty of it, this is a terrible debate because the moderator is awful

I don’t blame her because it’s an impossible job. It’s cat herding.

She probably meant the fight against them.

You know what Mandel needs? A Fu Manchu mustache. That would be awesome

[Flash Walken]

Kahn is unpolished, but I think he's doing a pretty good job solidifying his identity with Alberta voters.

[btimbit]

Kenney is going to invest 100 dilly million dollars

I suck at public speaking, so can't judge much, but it was funny

[CaptainCrunch]

Kahn getting called a liar by Mandel when Kahn accused Mandel of privatizing healthcare.

[Flash Walken]

Wow, kahn goes for the throat on mendel with the opioid line.

Wow, I'm pretty shocked he went that deep.

Which is interesting because what Khan just said they should do going forward has been the Alberta Party's platform since the start

I don't know if it was that effective or if it made Kahn look petty? Thoughts?

Mandel when someone attacks the AP

Yeah he has likely held onto the 4% of the vote they got last time.

[Rando]

Previously when you'd accuse someone smoking something they shouldn't be they were referring to pot. Since it legal does Mandel think Kahn was smoking a little of that sweet lady crack cocaine?

[btimbit]

OMG

I just realized Notley says "Kenney" like Eric Cartman does

"Kienny"

[CaptainCrunch]

Geez Rachel, Kenney has said a billion times that they won't privatize any aspect of healthcare, And she goes there, and it makes her look dishonest and going from a playbook.

That was a hard shot! It rattled Mandel for sure.

I would assume it struck a chord with any albertan with an immediate experience with the crisis as it exists now.

I'm assuming it's something they have polled. If Mandel was a real political threat it something the other leaders would be slamming him with.

[CaptainCrunch]

I don't know if this has clarified anything for me.


I just have a sense of dismissal for all of these leaders.
