Will Alberta's close election be decided by policy, or scandal?: Tight elections don't seem to be Alberta's thing. After decades of Conservative blowouts, the NDP's unlikely 2015 win was ... also a blowout, and then the United Conservative Party returned the favour during the next contest. But now, with two months to go before Albertans vote on a new premier, polls indicate that the UCP and the NDP are basically tied. This might actually be a close race. So how did we get here? Have Rachel Notley and the NDP been able to capitalize on Danielle Smith's many gaffes and scandals? Are voters simply immune to weird Covid stuff from the UCP by now? And could this maybe, possibly, be an election actually decided by policy and not partisanship? GUEST: Courtney Theriault, CityNews Edmonton by The Big Story
