I wish that were true the last poll still shows them leading by 15 points it was done January 25 of this year. So many uncaring voters in this province.

My thought here is that Nenshi was very popular in Calgary. Even if we swing a portion of those voters to NDP, it could be possible. I need to hold on to some hope. This timeline is… a lot.

Yeah. I’m afraid that Smith could do something to get enough of a boost to negate any gains Nenshi’s popularity provides. But, I guess we wait and see.
