Wildfire response presents political opportunities and risk for both UCP's Smith and NDP's Notley abpoli abvote
University of Calgary political scientist Lisa Young says the problem for Smith is not just the pressure to get the wildfire response right, but also become over-stretched amid mounting demands for her time.
That may mean Smith has to forgo valuable campaign opportunities, Young said, in order to manage the province’s wildfire response. She also noted the leadership demands on Smith further cut into her preparation time ahead of the May 18 leaders’ debate.Notley faces a different calculus, Bratt said, having to balance critiquing the government and her opponent while still supporting wildfire relief efforts.
“It is time for all parties running in this upcoming election to band together get a hold of Elections Alberta and postpone this provincial election,” he told reporters earlier this week.
