Premier Smith faces a gigantic and possibly unpredictable UCP convention
The meaning of the expected large turnout of members at United Conservative Party AGM is difficult to graspThe turnout is expected to be mammoth. Nearly 6,000 people have bought tickets to cast a ballot in Red Deer.
Does this mean Smith has widespread support from happy members?
Does it signal a rush of angry people, who are always easier to motivate?
Does it show that hundreds are being bused in with promises of action on their issues?

Aren't they just wonderful! Her add to post is interesting. I have a son working on a pipeline in B.C. that was approved many years ago that I hadn't heard of as it never makes the news. Previously he worked on Trans Mountain which was major news daily.
