To everyone's surprise, the city of Red Deer--the erstwhile Bible Belt provincial political home to Stockwell Day--went 2-for-2 Notley last spring. Between that and the Hobbema/Maskwacis reserves to the north, this'd be the more 'NDP-friendly' of the present federal NDP Red Deer pair--but a *very* relatively-speaking kind of friendliness. Well, as a lunatic anti-CPC Godwin-violator might see it, Jim Keegstra-style Holocaust denial carries more resonance around these parts than Alex Johnstone-style Auschwitz ignorance ;-)

While a selected few (very few, if any) ridings in Edmonton or even Calgary may end up being competitive at some point of the campaign, rural Alberta will continue to be solid Conservative territory. Remember, the last time rural Alberta returned a non-Conservative/PC/Reform/Alliance MP was 1968 (two that election, and one of them started with the Social Credits).
