As usual no surprises in Alberta in the federal election.
The Tories are leading in 17 ridings, none of the other parties are on the board. The New Democrats had just one seat in Edmonton in the last Parliament. The Tories have tradtionally done very well in Alberta. -

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been re-elected in his Calgary riding.
It was no contest as Harper easily cruised to an overwhelming victory in the riding of Calgary Southwest. He's held the riding since returning to politics in 2002 as leader of the Canadian Alliance. He also held a seat in that part of the city between 1993 and 1997 when he was elected as an M-P with the Reform Party. -
