So it seems we are ready to declare a winner among the pollsters
And it's Pallas. Only firm with all 3 parties within the MoE. Pollara (using their numbers adjusted for the list of candidates) has a lower average error though but I feel getting all 3 parties within MoE is more important
And remember Eby told us we also have to brace for another B.C. Conservative leadership race right away.
🤪🤪🤪
NEW - Premier-elect @LDoerkson has named Kim Henderson, former deputy minister to premier Christy Clark, as the head of his transition team as he will begin the process of taking over government in the weeks ahead.
My absolutely brilliant friends behind the historic drive to elect the @Conservative_BC’s last night are too many to mention…
But at least let me join the raucous chorus behind their fearless leader @katy_merrifield. Results and moments like this are not coincidence. They require focus, dedication, work ethic, gumption and pure skill.
You have it all in spades buddy. Well done.

Positive meetings this week with Premier Smith and Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams. We agreed to work together on Calgary's immediate priorities, including affordability, infrastructure, and public safety. Thank you both for the constructive conversations!
Spoiler: I haven't.
Today is the day! 🗳️
I said on Day 1 that @Dave_Eby’s goose was cooked. Watch to see if I’ve changed my mind. 🔥

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

BRADY TKACHUK GOT BOOED DURING TRIBUTE VIDEO BUT TOOK A VICTORY LAP ANYWAY 😭
THE BEST HEEL IN THE GAME TODAY 😅
For a party that was in complete and utter turmoil a month ago - it is even MORE impressive how quickly the BC Conservatives have pulled together such a sophisticated campaign infrastructure from nominating candidates to campaign communications.
Seriously crazy.

I hope every UCP member and supporter will watch this video.
The referendum is behind us. Albertans gave their answers and our party must honour that mandate.
What comes next is the only fight that matters, and it is twelve months away.
Naheed Nenshi's NDP have told us exactly what they will do with power:
🟠 Reopen the drug consumption sites we closed
🟠 Let minors undergo irreversible gender surgeries without their parents' knowledge.
🟠 Shut down school choice.
🟠 Bring back the production cap and the net zero regulations to phase out our energy sector.
🟠 Open border immigration.
🟠 A carbon tax.
🟠 And Avi Lewis in Ottawa pulling Nenshi’s strings.
United, our party will win. Divided the NDP wins and all Albertans would suffer as a result.
The time for division is over.
The time to unite and fight for a stronger Alberta and Canada is now.

"As a party, our position on Alberta and Canada must be clear and unambiguous, just like the mandate given by Albertans a couple of days ago. A strong Alberta within a united Canada is the position of our party and our government. And although members of our party can have whatever views they wish, candidates running under our party banner need to be committed to and support and abide by this position from the day they take out their nomination papers, throughout their candidacy and for the duration of their time serving as MLAs in our caucus."
"It also means we expect every member of our provincial board and members of constituency association boards across the province to uphold the position of our party on this issue and focus their attention and efforts on one singular objective over the next 12 months. And that objective is beating the NDP in every single riding in this province."
"That’s it. That’s all we should be focused on until that job is done. Nothing else matters if we fail on that mission."

Proud to have been a volunteer and donor to Vote to Stay.
Congratulations to all the individuals, organizations and grassroots groups who worked to keep Alberta in Canada. You came from different backgrounds and political perspectives, but were united by a common purpose. Thank you for standing up for our province and our country. 🇨🇦
And thanks to @montesolberg for his leadership in organizing the group around Vote to Stay.
.@MonteSolberg Statement on Alberta Separation Referendum Results 🇨🇦
DRUMHELLER, AB (Oct. 20, 2026) – Today, Vote to Stay Founder Monte Solberg issued the following statement in response to Albertans' decisive and overwhelming vote to stay in Canada:
"Albertans have spoken loud and clear, voting overwhelmingly to stay in Canada and reject separation.
"Alberta's future is about building a stronger province alongside our fellow Canadians, not breaking our country apart.
"It's time to put the question of separation to rest and get to work building a stronger Alberta within a united Canada.
"Let's close this chapter and move forward together as proud Albertans and patriotic Canadians – focused on making life more affordable, getting pipelines built, developing our energy resources, attracting investment, creating jobs, and securing a brighter and more prosperous future."

A great base of support for independence has been fostered which isn't going away.
Let's work with this and bring Alberta to independence.
That said, trying to turn the UCP into an independence party when 76% of the province isn't ready, is simply stupid.
A loser and a fraud.
'Alberta will never be independent' as long as Smith is UCP leader: Alberta separatist leader Rath
