Rachel Notley s unexpected triumph over Alberta s age-old Conservative regime was an early rumble before the Trudeau landslide. Many Canadians have long seen Alberta as politically paralyzed. But it has always been a cauldron of discontent, producing the Reform Party, the Wildrose movement, the modern Conservative Party of Canada, and Stephen Harper. "Notley Nation" tells how this pent-up energy exploded into an NDP victory. The political upheaval that swept conservatism out of office in 2015 showed its first tremors in Alberta five years earlier. There were clear signs, even in Canada s most right-wing province, that younger voters felt ignored, as social concerns like LGBTQ rights were treated with contempt and the Progressive Conservative government failed to connect with city voters. By 2015, Rachel Notley s NDP had taken the province. This is the story of that wave election, where heavy support from the 18 34 generation joined older voters who felt the forty-three-year-old Conservative dynasty had grown out of touch."
