Carney to Launch Leadership Bid in Edmonton

Carney is launching his campaign for Liberal leader in Edmonton tomorrow - and it was announced by Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal. Between that and his confidence the Liberals can still win the election, it seems to read as if he things Alberta (or at least Edmonton and Calgary) might be in play?

We all know the Liberals struggle out West… but with the rise of the NDP provincially, maybe there is an opportunity for change? I think it has low odds of working, but I wouldn’t hate this if that’s Carney’s plan. If the Conservatives can safely trust us to vote for them, they can safely ignore us. I wanted the NDP to make that bid - but if Carney won the leadership race and tried to take some Alberta seats, I could live with that. I don’t even care if they win - I want somebody to at least try to unseat the CPC.
