Calgary is a mess. PCs, NDPs, and exurban Wildrose all have seats, Alberta Party leads in one seat and the Liberals are less than a percentage away in Mountain View.


No, polls showed them ahead in every region and in the low-40s popular vote with PCs and Wildrose roughly tied in the low-20s; they were just about right. Early results simply didn't look like that at all and freaked us out.

Did you click the link? The exit poll says 54% of voters voted NDP.

Oh, no, I don't pay attention to exit polls. I thought you meant the pre-election polling. If exit polls showed NDP at 54%, then they were grossly overestimated, since they're at 41% right now (a historic high, btw).

With all 87 ridings reporting some results, NDP are at 53, PCs and Wildrose are tied at 16, and Liberals and Alberta Party have 1 each.

Later counting favoring NDP. Wildrose leads PC 15-14 while trailing 24%-28% in the popular vote; notably, the Wildrose v. PC dynamic looks totally different than three years ago, which will be interesting to analyze.

This makes Ontario 1990 look like an Orange Drip in comparison.

Correction, she is (was) not a cabinet minister. But I did shake her hand in front of cameras.

It's very likely a majority, so it doesn't matter, but it's really irresponsible of the media to project "NDP government, we're not sure whether it's minority or majority". No wonder low-info voters treat coalitions as some sort of black magic.

Yes, our expectations are so high that 52 NDP should be seen as a huge disappointment. Sad Sad Sad
