After weeks of speculation, NDP Leader Rachel Notley has made it official: it's election time in Alberta. The provincial vote will take place on April 16, she announced Tuesday morning in Calgary. The start of the campaign comes one day after the NDP government delivered its throne speech in the legislature and amid a near-constant stream of controversies in recent days involving its main rival, the United Conservative Party led by Jason Kenney.
What does the Albertan election mean for national politics? Also, how do Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley differ in political style?
