UCP won all but 3 Calgary seats. Calgarians should be pressuring their UCP MLA’s, especially given the internal divisions within the party, and their slimming majority.

No they didn’t. Calgary has 25 seats, 14 of which are NDP. In 2023 there were 5 more that were lost by fewer than 1100 votes combined, which would have changed the outcome of the election. This was the best head-to-head showing by the NDP in Alberta ever.
And with high-visibility Calgary-centric Nenshi as leader, It’s entirely possible that that balance flips.
Calgary isn’t as conservative as you might want to believe.
A bunch o’ ridings were gearing up for recall campaigns before the federal election got called. A whole lot of folks were distributing literature and rallying volunteers until folks refocused on the federal election.
Once the election is done, I’m pretty confident that’ll ramp up again - the UCP ain’t getting less corrupt. Check out abresistance.ca for info.
As someone in Alberta I’m not convinced the people didn’t slide to the alt right along with the party. Basically, it’s the Wildrose party in all but name. The crazies ate the short sighted moderates who merged with them to avoid losing again.
Nobody hates on Jason Kenney like they should. He killed this province. Whether he and/or Smith are symptoms of the same disease rotting the floor boards out of the USA aside.
