This is an interesting poll, and like all the other more-recent polls, it has some wrinkles that deserve to be unpacked.
#ableg #abvote #abpoli The published document includes the questionnaire, the cross-tabs, etc, which is super-awesome because it helps shed some light on why different polls might yield different results. Often these details are hidden behind a paywall.

Do you like having money? Then you definitely want to vote for *anyone* other than Jason Kenney’s UCP. Kenney’s just-released platform confirms that he intends to take a boatload of money out of *your* wallet and give to his friends:

•He wants to end the carbon tax & rebates, which most Albertans make money on, taking money out of your hands & giving it to the richest in AB.
