The writ is expected to drop Monday in Alberta for an election campaign that effectively began weeks ago with both Danielle Smith’s United Conservatives and Rachel Notley’s New Democrats warning of the dystopian future should their opponents triumph.
The UCP was bleeding support in its traditional rural strongholds over former premier Jason Kenney’s COVID-19 health restrictions and vaccine mandates.
“Right down the middle is a thin group of undecided voters who, at this moment, think the UCP is better at the economy, think the NDP is better at social programs, but can't decide which is more important to them right now,” Brown said in an interview. Politicians on both sides have already hit the doors and pronounced policy promises, leaving unrepresented parties in the legislature, such as the Liberals and Alberta Party, fighting to crowbar their way into the public consciousness Under Smith, the UCP has pushed controversial autonomy initiatives, such a provincial police force, tax collection agency and pension plan.
