During the hour-long leaders’ debate on May 18, UCP Leader Danielle Smith touted her party’s record during her seven months in office, while NDP Leader Rachel Notley focused on the theme of trust and criticized the UCP government’s tenure.
The central topics covered in the debate between Smith, who is vying for reelection, and Notley, premier from 2015 to 2019, were affordability, health care, the economy, relations with Ottawa, and a “wild card” round taken from public submissions.
