Calgary Heritage byelection test of right-wing parties' strength: political scientist yyc
While the CPC’s total stranglehold on Alberta weakened by 14 per cent in 2021, with the Liberals claiming two seats in the province and the NDP one, ripping Calgary Heritage from their grasp is considered a long shot.
A longtime party staffer and foreign policy adviser, Majumdar is a director of Harper’s consulting firm and counts himself a friend of Poilievre.But his LinkedIn page says he’s “a nationally recognized and respected thought leader in Canadian foreign policy and national security — advocating for Canadian energy, confronting foreign authoritarians interfering in the lives of Canadians, and promoting a principled vision for Calgary and our country in a disrupted world.
He said concerns over affordability and health care play well in the NDP’s favour, given the party’s efforts in pushing the Trudeau government toward wider pharmaceutical and dental coverage. He wouldn’t deny the unpopularity in Calgary of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but emphasized he’s running on his own name and background.
And Weinstein said he’s heard some rumblings of dissatisfaction with Poilievre among some Conservatives in Calgary Heritage.People’s Party of Canada candidate Kelly Lorencz said he agrees with Williams’ prediction the byelection could have relevance as a showdown among conservatives. Inflation and cost-of-living challenges have been at the forefront of constituents’ concerns, he said, as have parental rights.Article content
