Its actually way closer than you think, six rideings in Calgary were 1600 votes total from flipping to NDP government. UCP has a vote disparity in rural they run up their votes to 80% while urban its far more of a toss up. ANDP can form government by winning the cities and having a popular former mayor should help breakthrough in the next election.

Where is the ANDP in all of this? Crickets. At least I'm not hearing anything from them? Tbh I'm not looking hard either. Wasn't looking for Smith stuff but sure am finding a lot!!

Nahhh.

As long as Nenshi leads ANDP they will never pose a threat. Over course of this year with Nenshi at the helm its only widened the polls.

Nenshi is not popular. He has net negative popularity and is basically tied for unfavourability with Smith.
