    Default 2027 Alberta's 32nd General Election

    Currently scheduled for May 31, 2027, if the legislature is not dissolved earlier.

    Themes to watch:
    1)NDP will have a new leader
    2) Liberal and Alberta parties fight for relevance
    3) UCP, rural social conservative vs more centrist priorities.
    4) Budgets, Deficits, Investments and Heritage Fund savings.
    5)any Federal influence on provincial voters/parties/issues.

    Lots happening, as always.

    Why did you have to start this…

    I was hoping we would have at least another year or 2 of quiet before Toma goes off his meds again

    Does the NDP rebrand? Feel like they’d be kind of dumb not to

    To what?

    The Liberal name is mud and Alberta Party is a joke.

    Plus I think you are forgetting how much of their core are true believers in the full wacko national NDP mandate.

    You’re not wrong, but was pretty easy for UCP to point at federal NDP for problems and connect the two, even when they were very divergent on things like oil and gas

    I hope nenshi wins the leadership just for the lols.

    Not a hard connection to make when they are literally the same party.

    Nenshi is a juggernaut and could easily win that party leadership.
    No idea if he helps in the election more than that white lady.

    If Nenshi is elected leader, the NDP has an incredibly good chance of getting in. Rural AB is always Blue, Edmonton is consistently Orange and Calgary flip-flops but was ~50% Orange in 2023. With Nenshi at the helm, I see Calgary being the decider of the next election if he's leader and probably go be an NDP win.

    NDP would be idiots to not elect him frankly.

    Do people remember Nenshi differently than me? I don't remember him fondly or by people singing kumbaya to him on his way out of city hall

    I don't think even Stephen Carter could help the NDP win.

    People who could be swayed to vote NDP have a vary favourable opinion of that guy. People who would never note NDP don't matter in that calculation.

    Alberta will not swing to NDP for a long time. Oh and fuck Nenshi.

    Don't think so. She is walking back the income tax cuts the UCP proposed as part of their election platform.

    If her sole aim right now is to beef up the Heritage Fund as diligently as she suggests, cutting income taxes is not conducive that goal.

    A PST introduced by any government in this province is probably political suicide but a 0.5-1% PST that goes straight into the Heritage Fund wouldn't be the worst idea. Blanketing a PST for uses like 'healthcare' and 'education' vague ticket items means it will get lost in admin bullshit no one ever experiences anything positive from.

    A 1% PST would bring in approx 1.3B/yr (adjusted for inflation).

    If that were to happen it's unfortunate the federal government already took the HST terminology. A 1% HST (Heritage savings tax) could be easier to float as an idea if they could stick to messaging it can only go into the heritage fund. 1% would being in 1 Billion a year IIRC.
