      I mean, she was very close (1300 votes) to losing the last election against not-Nenshi, and without any scandals. It’s far from a longshot.

      He was popular enough to be their mayor until he decided not to run for a fourth term, and Calgary has generally not been adverse to voting NDP before, so I’d say its Nenshi’s race to lose.

        And for reference, It’s basically a 3-part game in Alberta. Edmonton, which always will vote NDP, Calgary, and everything else which will mostly go UCP but is a competition in places like Red Deer and Lethbridge.
