    44 is about the percentage of the people who voted NDP last election. It shouldn’t be that surprising.

        I live and work downtown Calgary in an O&G related field (emissions reduction analysis - it’s a frustrating job). I listen to a LOT of anti-Smith diatribes. The UCP mostly gets elected by rural ridings. They have about half of Calgary, and I don’t know why they even bother running candidates in Edmonton.

        There’s a lot similarities to BC actually - BC votes conservative (whatever they call themselves) most places outside of Vancouver and Victoria.

        There’s even recall campaign talk in Calgary at the moment because people are hoping to force an early election to try and force the UCP out. (abresistance.ca for any Calgary homies who are interested in getting involved)
