Last week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told a columnist her re-election strategy in 2023 will be sweeping rural Alberta seats and hanging on to 10-15 in Edmonton and Calgary.

The latest survey from pollster Janet Brown finds she may not have those areas as locked up as she hopes.

Fascinating. Researchers asked more than 380 public health experts globally what policies they agree (or disagree) could help end the COVID-19 pandemic. A relatively accessible read for us laypeople.

@litui Interesting. I imagine our tech/social media folks are looking into this. But I will ask!
@litui Good to see you here, too! It's vaguely like re-learning how to walk? I am trying to recruit colleagues.
@mpjgregoire Thanks for the tip! Maybe I can use both?

Fascinating new polling results are out from Janet Brown -- the first public polling since Danielle Smith became Alberta premier.

If an election were held today, the Alberta NDP would win a majority government, the poll finds. And Smith is struggling to appeal to all UCP supporters. #ableg
