It might be a fallacy to call this week Alberta’s election campaign kick-off, except in technical terms.
With the May 29 fixed election date known long in advance, the governing party and its chief opposition have been campaigning full-out for most of 2023, at least.
The election’s formal call may be better considered the marker of the final 28 days of this long contest. That, plus we now get blue and orange lawn signs.
The strange pace of things on Tuesday gave an indication of how little the campaign’s official Day 2 means when so many de-facto campaign days have preceded it.
