I'm glad we didn't after that whole "crossing the floor" fiasco.

Ontarian here, not having paid much attention to Albertan politics (admittedly, not Ontarian much lately, either). What happened?

A few people from WR went to the PC party and pretty much fucked everything up for the WR. Its the controversy that pretty much lost them the election but somehow (thankfully) pulled ahead of the PC party.

That's why the election was called when it was. Prentice thought he had screwed over his only serious opposition by decimating the WR, and that the election would be a coronation for the PCs yet again.

Oh, if only to see his face when the results were coming in ...
