Rachel Notley New Democrats and Alberta Provincial Election

Jim Prentice: Stop me Well here we are, on the cusp of 2016 and it time for the traditional review of the top news stories of 2015, according to Rabble. Everyone else is doing it, so why not Alberta Politics.ca Journalists, being who they are, tilt toward surprises. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. If Jim Prentice PCs had won the Alberta provincial election on May 5, as everyone expected, instead of Rachel Notley New Democrats, that probably wouldn't have made as many lists simply because it wouldn't have been as big a surprise. Likewise, journalists favour mayhem, mayhem being dramatic and almost always followed by pronouncements that "this changes everything." Very rarely is this true, because violence at home and abroad almost always happens for a reason, usually in a political context. Yet, arguably, it would have been just as significant a story.
