And to clarify my previous statement, I believe Harper's Calgary house is in Calgary-Glenmore which didn't go NDP for sure until the recount. Anam Kazim will be his representative.

Here is the Student Vote mock election results. Not every secondary and primary school participated, but this gives us a huge sample size to look at.


NDP 37% 57 Seats
Wildrose 24% 22 Seats
PC 20% 6 Seats
Liberal 9% 1 Seat
Alberta 6% 1 Seat
4% Other 0 Seats

A bunch of rural and Calgary ridings are switched to and fro, the net result being a slightly larger NDP majority due to netting 3 extra rural seats. Both Prentice and Jean lose their seats.
It also looks like Alberta students aren't as left relative to their parents as Ontario students - in both 2011 and 2014 the Ontario PCs placed third in the student vote.

Quote from: 🍁 Hatman on May 18, 2015, 09:15:11 PM
Ugh, student votes. The only one I ever participated in was 2003 and I voted for non other than Dalton McGuinty. It's my only argument for not letting 17 year olds vote Wink
One good thing about Student Vote - in 2012 it was literally the only sign the PCs were going to win in Alberta. Student vote announced a majority for PC right some hours before the polls closed.

lol you think you have it bad Hatman? I actually voted Lib in 2011 student federal vote. What a shame.

It looks like Deborah Drever (NDP - Calgary-Bow) has been kicked out of the party after yet another photo of hers had been found, this time involving a homophobic remark.

What's worse is that she posted this after her election, and after her pot shirt/fingering the flag photos came out. I would have defended her then but this is too irresponsible.

Never mind, another source says it was likely from last year's PC leadership race.

308 attempted to run a simulation of the election under a merged right party, using polling data on second preferences

NDP 49%, 55 seats
PC/WR 39%, 30 seats
ALP/AP, 2 seats

A non-insignificant chunk of WR supporters had NDP as their second choice.
