That by-election will take place in a rural electoral district handpicked to make it easy for premier designate Danielle Smith to win a seat in the provincial Legislature. Ms. Frey and Ms. Smith have scheduled an announcement at 1 o’clock this afternoon in the riding, presumably so that Ms. Smith can announce she will do exactly that. That is of course the UCP’s real problem with holding a by-election there, even one that doesn’t feature Ms. Smith as a candidate. Ms. Smith offered this explanation during an episode of CBC’s Power & Politics television program yesterday. “She must call the Calgary-Elbow by-election immediately.”Well, she won’t.
