## Resource

Calgary just handed the Alberta NDP a stunning upset in a byelection, flipping the traditionally conservative Calgary-Shaw riding with a razor-thin margin of 597 votes. NDP candidate Kyle Campbell, who won 47% of the vote, credited voters’ hunger for reliable leadership on healthcare and education — not separatism. While UCP insiders blame a fractured conservative vote and low turnout, political analysts are sounding alarms: this could be the first of many losses for the Tories in Calgary. Former Premier Jason Kenney even warned that supporting independence might backfire — helping the NDP win big next time. This isn’t just another election result; it’s a wake-up call for Alberta’s ruling party. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
