    She really thought people would buy into her marxist climate socialist woke garbage.

        Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party won 48 seats to the NDP’s 38. 2 recounts in Calgary with results due June 8. The UCP won the popular vote with almost 53% while the NDP got 44%. Once again, polls overestimated the NDP's final result and underestimated the UCP's performance. Will there be a smaller cabinet? Will there be any urban cabinet ministers?

          The polls were fairly accurate with a small margin of victory in some ridings for the UCP.

          The reality is politics in Alberta have changed with many formerly conservative voters choosing the moderate centrist NDP option and rejecting the far right who consider Ron DeSantis as a hero.

          Notley is closer to Peter Lougheed in policy.

          Alberta is no longer to be ruled by a single party. The cities are becoming more progressive.

                  Most of you guys would have probably called Peter Lougheed a commie for wanting a bigger share of resource revenues for Albertans! LOL

                  Look at his record:

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lougheed

                  Energy policies

                  Lougheed, while serving as the leader of the opposition, accused the Social Credit government of not ensuring Albertans received fair value from the exploitation of public non-renewable natural resources. As Premier, Lougheed implemented several policies to increase the value of Alberta's resources, counter federal programs he viewed as threats and expand development in the oil sands.

                  Shortly after he was elected in 1972, Lougheed announced major changes to the province's oil and gas royalty structures to increase Alberta's share of resource revenue and entrench the provincial government's control over those resources.[8

                  During his 14 years as Premier, Lougheed oversaw significant economy and cultural growth in Alberta, largely fueled by oil and gas royalty revenues. Lougheed's domestic policies saw the development of the Athabasca oil sands and the creation of the state-owned Alberta Energy Company to facilitate development of the oil and gas industry.[125] Despite his party's Conservative label, Lougheed consistently made policies and investments that significantly expanded the government's role in the economy, impacted industries across the province, both in oil and gas and other areas of the free market, such as the purchase of Pacific Western Airlines.[125] Lougheed implemented large-scale increases in provincial royalty rates for oil and gas production,[87][88] and during the National Energy Program he reduced oil and gas production and paused two oil sands projects.[100][68][102] These policies were unpopular with the Alberta oil and gas industry and conservatives in Alberta. The close ties of the state-owned Alberta Energy Company to the government gave critics the impression of an "unfair competitive advantage", and Lougheed's intervention in the free market through controlling oil and gas production worried his conservative base.[170]

                  In 1974, the Lougheed government purchased Pacific Western Airlines in part to assure the development of the North and Western Canada, and position Alberta as the gateway to the north.[122] The province purchased the airline for $37.5 million (equivalent to $203 million in 2021) during a secret takeover bid.
