This is the data from the 2023 provincial election, so I guess that depends on what exodus you're referring to.
Considering the NDP only needs to flip 6 ridings for an AB majority, and there are at least 6 to flip in Calgary, and that Nenshi is the leader of the NDP now... I think AB will likely see an NDP government next time based on that math alone. Smith being a fucking national embarrassment is just the icing on the cake.
Thank you. I wasn't looking at when the numbers were from. Silly old guy stuff. Careful it happens to everyone eventually.
I'm an old guy so I get it. Also there is a narrative about AB at a national level that's hard to shake.
Flipping (the ideally located) 1380 votes in AB in 2023 would have produced an NDP majority. I don't think Canada really understands the razors Edge that AB sits on.
I lived in Alberta for a long time. My wife is from there. The oil and gas boom really changed the political landscape. Lots of folks do not understand that happened at all. They just run with the typical Alberta Redneck sentiment. The influx of folks from all over made Alberta a lot less conservative and more open.
It also pushed out some wealthy individuals into BC who now seem to be also affecting that political landscape now that one can only assume they have set their claws in the conservative party of BC.
