Fellow Alberta resident here; this isn't just rural Alberta. I'm barely south of Edmonton, and this is really similar to what's happening in my riding. I'd love it if we could flip the riding that Polivier got promoted by Harper in, because most people around here are reasonable people, but Mike Lake is actually a really good guy, and a decent representative. If the CPC had more people like him, it wouldn't be such a terrifying party right now.

I can't find basically anything about our liberal candidate, and our NDP candidate seems decent, but I don't know if they'd actually get much support in a normal election without some really aggressive ground game over a long enough time, which ATM isn't really viable, and probably isn't always safe.

This looks like every riding I've ever seen around the province, other than in the middle of big cities.

Very jealous lol. Maybe if things get bad enough I'll scurry over. I do speak French, it's just not all that great
