Just spent 3 weeks in Alberta on business and the Wildrose/PC merger is generating a lot of buzz and media coverage
Seems like the PC's are currently polling at 30% and the Wildrose at 38%. A merged 68% of the vote equates to a huge majority. Speculation is that Notley will also call an early election.
There is a lot of speculation - I would actually say more like excitement - that if they get the numbers then they will have a referendum to secede.
Most Albertan's I've been speaking to see Alberta as the most prosperous province in Canada, but the most heavily-taxed and they are being treated very unfairly by Ottawa . The other perception is that the Trudeau family (father and son) have so much disdain for Albertan's, and Justin hasn't really done anything to try and address this, I think snubbing the invite to the Stampede was the latest example.
Is it this end of Confederation in 2019? And before dismissing it outright, no one ever thought Brexit would garner enough votes right up until the counting started.
