Show Notes

Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party fought off a strong challenge from Rachel Notley and the NDP Monday night to win the Alberta election.

The UCP stands to lose a few seats, and perhaps some cabinet ministers, even as the NDP hopes for major gains don’t appear to have materialized.

National Post reporter and producer of this podcast Tyler Dawson joins the show to discuss the results, the likely turning point for Smith and the UCP, and why it was taking so long to count ballots.

Background reading: UCP wins majority government, but loses key seats
