Predictably, the Alberta NDP's focus-grouped and poll-driven strategy to get re-elected failed, despite Jason Kenney's campaign having multiple run-ins with xenophobia and white nationalism. Who could've foreseen after the 2016 Clinton-Trump contest that people would vote for magic nostalgic "make the economy better" beans, even if the leader in question is an asshole? Surely in Alberta, where Ralph Klein was Premier for 14 years, people at the ballot box ask themselves "hrmm I wonder who is more fit to be Premier?"
