No they didn’t. Calgary has 25 seats, 14 of which are NDP. In 2023 there were 5 more that were lost by fewer than 1100 votes combined, which would have changed the outcome of the election. This was the best head-to-head showing by the NDP in Alberta ever.
And with high-visibility Calgary-centric Nenshi as leader, It’s entirely possible that that balance flips.
Calgary isn’t as conservative as you might want to believe.
A bunch o’ ridings were gearing up for recall campaigns before the federal election got called. A whole lot of folks were distributing literature and rallying volunteers until folks refocused on the federal election.
Once the election is done, I’m pretty confident that’ll ramp up again - the UCP ain’t getting less corrupt. Check out abresistance.ca for info.

When the only part of Alberta that doesnt vote conservative is Edmonton , it’s not just the rural areas.

Certain Canadians need Alberta to be all yokels so they feel better about electing Doug Ford before he had any redeeming qualities.
