        He was popular enough to be their mayor until he decided not to run for a fourth term, and Calgary has generally not been adverse to voting NDP before, so I’d say its Nenshi’s race to lose.

          And for reference, It’s basically a 3-part game in Alberta, with each area getting an equal share of the seats. Edmonton, which always will vote NDP, Calgary, and everything else which will mostly go UCP but can see an actual competition in places like Red Deer and Lethbridge.

        I mean, she was very close (1300 votes) to losing the last election against not-Nenshi, and without any scandals. It’s far from a longshot.
