Some of Alberta's NDP members say the party has changed the province for the better and believe it will be an effective Opposition.
On Tuesday, Albertans elected Jason Kenney and his United Conservative Party to a majority government after taking back many of the breakthrough NDP wins in the 2015 election.An advisor who helped run the NDP's campaign said Notley and the party changed the shape of Alberta politics after their surprise rise to power four years ago.
Hausser listed economic diversification, climate leadership, reduction in child poverty and a strong education system as some of the improvements by Notley's government. "Many Albertans gave us a very strong direction that they want us to fight for things that Rachel ran for in her platform," said Sarah Hoffman, the NDP's former health minister, who held onto her Edmonton seat.
