Alberta Premier Alison Redford's ruling Conservatives defied the experts and scored a solid majority victory on April 23rd, extending the party's Alberta dynasty that started in 1971. Redford told jubilant supporters that voters showed that they cared about the future of Alberta. (The victory flew in the face of polls that had Redford's party trailing the Wildrose and its leader Danielle Smith for much of the campaign. Redford's team appeared to benefit from soft Liberal supporters who switched to the Tories in a strategic swing.)
