On Saturday, candidates and 2,000 volunteers with the Alberta NDP took part in Orange Saturday, knocking on doors across the province in hopes of making a connection with residents.
“It’s hard to know how to vote and it’s hard to know who to vote for so, at least meeting the person gives you a chance,” Bill Hemstock said.
As candidates aim to be open with voters, Premier Danielle Smith says she will now only take one question per media outlet and no follow-ups. When asked why at a press conference on Friday, Smith responded, “We’re sort of getting into election mode and so, we have lots of people who want answered questions … so we want to make sure we get to everybody.”, on Saturday, Smith reiterated she is limiting questions to provide answers to more reporters.The party is promising to answer any and all questions put to them, including follow ups.
Henry says the ground game is especially important in Calgary as neither party can win the election without getting the majority of seats there. “Calgary is going to be where this election has decided. There are 26 seats in Calgary, and most of them are highly competitive. So, this is going to be a real battleground for the two parties,” he said.
