Wildrose: Chestermere Rocky View

Wildrose Party Dept: Rural ridings in the north have mostly gone with the PCs, with the south heading over to the Wildrose, according to CBC. Some of the bigger races included Tory candidate Ted Morton in Chestermere Rocky View. The longtime cabinet minister lost his seat to Wildrose candidate Bruce McAllister, who grabbed roughly 58 per cent of the popular vote in the riding and the Alberta election results show a north-south split in rural electoral divisions between the Progressive Conservatives and the Wildrose. While the rural vote has traditionally gone Tory, the Wildrose Party had been polling well outside of Alberta's urban centres during the entire election campaign. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
