The Numbers: Trouble or Relief for Danielle Smith?
Will Alberta separatists be a thorn in Poilievre's side later this summer?
The Alberta New Democrats held their two seats in Edmonton and the United Conservatives won their seat in the rural south of the province. Naheed Nenshi now has a seat in the legislature and Danielle Smith has kept the separatists at bay…
But there are some conflicting signals in the results. Are there reasons for Smith to be concerned over these numbers?
And what could they mean for Pierre Poilievre’s own quest for a seat in rural Alberta?
We break down the results of the Alberta by-elections in this week’s episode of The Numbers.
We also discuss the deep hole Quebec’s François Legault finds himself in and Philippe has another quiz (and a tough one) on the results of the 2025 federal election.
