Calgary-Shaw Byelection Heats Up | Canada News

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith has set the date for a high-stakes byelection in Calgary-Shaw on September 14th, following the departure of UCP cabinet minister Rebecca Schulz in May. With both the UCP and NDP already locked in their candidates — Mike Derry for Smith and Kyle Campbell backed by NDP leader Naheed Nenshi — the race is heating up. Nenshi’s campaign frames it as a vote against separatist-leaning governance, while a surprise third contender from the newly formed Progressive Tory Party, led by former UCP minister Peter Guthrie, adds even more intrigue. This byelection could send a major message across Alberta. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
