Sept. 16, 2015. Results of one of three polls
undertaken by Mainstreet Research indicate that Liberal Matt Grant is in a statistical
tie with Conservative Len Webber in the riding of Calgary Confederation. There
is no incumbent in that riding. While Grant has a strong lead with those 18-34
years of age, undecided voters are leaning toward Webber. In Alberta, the
Liberals have only one Indigenous candidate. Garry Parenteau is running in the
Lakeland riding in the north. Lakeland is the only riding in which two
Indigenous candidates are facing off, with Duane Zaraska running for the NDP.
Both men are Metis. The NDP have six Indigenous candidates in the province.
Battle River-Crowfoot, with NDP Katherine Swampy, is the furthest south an
Indigenous candidate is running.
