The Alberta Election: A Battle Between Danielle Smith and Rachel Notley.

The upcoming election in Alberta, Canada, offers voters a choice between the populist Conservative United Conservatives and the left-leaning Alberta New Democratic Party. The election has split the Conservative base, with some former lawmakers backing the NDP's Rachel Notley over incumbent Premier Danielle Smith. Polls suggest the UCP is headed for a majority government, but the election will be decided in a handful of suburbs around Alberta's largest city. The race has some of Smith's federal cousins watching closely, and a victory for either candidate could cement their legacy.
