Alberta election results highlight broad gap between city and country representation in that province and in B.C.
There is usually not much to learn from another province’s general election, but the recent result in Alberta serves as a reminder that some of this country finds itself moving in two different directions.
The winning United Conservative Party proved victorious by dominating the rural regions of the province , while the NDP made impressive gains by winning almost three-quarters of the urban and suburban ridings. The fact that the Alberta NDP took a majority of seats in the Calgary metro area ― usually an electoral desert for that party ― is telling.
I suspect this shift in voting patterns is indicative of changing demographics. The suburbs are dominated by younger people and young families, who naturally gravitate to parties that are not right-wing.
