Conservative Far-Right Shift Tested in Alberta Election

The far-right shift of the United Conservative Party in Alberta, Canada, during the pandemic has put the traditionally conservative province up for grabs in Monday's elections. The vote could also serve as a gauge of the conservative standing nationwide. The hard-right turn of the party has created an opening for the left-leaning New Democratic Party to win control of the province. The election is a stark choice between the United Conservatives and the New Democrats, with the outcome hinging largely on how well the parties perform in Calgary.
