Vote Splitting?

The claim of vote splitting is contentious, and it certainly does not apply to Lethbridge, where both of the NDP candidates won more votes than either of the Tory or Wildrose candidates combined. Shannon Phillips took her seat with 60% of the popular vote, while Maria Fitzpatrick took hers with 48% of the vote. These are very clear and decisive results, and I have changed the wording of the article accordingly. Hamish Paul Wilson (talk) 21:53, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the last election results do not match the page https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alberta_general_election,_2015 where it shows Notley won 40.57% of the popular vote, not 70% as this article suggests. She won 63.5% of the available seats to win the election.

Not done the 70% clearly refers to the Alberta New Democratic Party leadership election, 2014, which she did win with 70% as also stated here. This is not the Alberta general election, 2015 that you are referring to. - Arjayay (talk) 13:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding: Opiate Fentanyl epidemic Quote "Since 2014 Notley's government was tasked with a fatal opiate epidemic..." The citations clearly show that this was 2016, and not 2014. (Additionally Notley's team did not form government until May 2015.) The line should therefore read ""Since 2016 Notley's government was tasked with a fatal opiate epidemic.."

REMOVE = Botley was reportedly "largely unimpressed" by Tommy Douglas when he visited their home and is said to have spoken disparagingly of Ed Broadbent as an adolescent.^[1] While at an Alberta NDP public meeting in Grande Prairie discussing poverty and student debt, she publicly challenged her own father, asking for his advice as a poor student whose parents made too much money for her to get a loan while at the same time being too cheap to give her enough money to buy food. Her infuriated father waited until the meeting was over to give her a lone twenty dollar bill to tide her over until the end of the month.^[1] CptBeatty (talk) 21:32, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Why? Those statements seem to line up with the source provided and don't lend undue weight to the issue. If anything they are too close to a copy-paste, but that would warrant rewriting, not complete deletion. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of "Aboriginal"

Is there some reason that the term "Indigenous" not be used rather than "Aboriginal"? As I understand, the former is the preferred term in Canada. Character-Box1934 (talk) 20:02, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
