Provincial Election

Kenney sees strong voter turnout as advantage to UCP

United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney says the strong turnout in advance polls for tomorrow’s Alberta election shows voters want change.

Kenney told a rally in Edmonton that’s good news for his party in its bid to defeat the NDP government of Rachel Notley.

Almost 700,000 people voted in advance polls, nearly three times more than the number who cast ballots ahead of the 2015 election.

Notley urges patience on pipelines

Alberta’s NDP leader says the election of United Conservative leader Jason Kenney would undermine her work to build a national consensus on the need for pipelines.

Notley spent the final day of the campaign before tomorrow’s election plugging what she says was her “patient and determined action” to get pipelines built.

She says she expects that to pay off with a federal green light next month for the stalled Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to the west coast.

But she says the election of Kenney would put that in jeopardy with his promise to launch a series of legal actions and block energy exports to British Columbia over its government’s resistance to Trans Mountain.
