Polls show Notley, Smith neck-and-neck

As Albertans wait for the writ to drop, an election kickoff is expected May the 1st, which means we should see about a four-week election. The polls show Rachel Notley and Danielle Smith neck-and-neck, although the seat distribution tends to favour Smith over Notley.

BCN’s Jeannette Rocher chats with the Alberta correspondent for the National Post Tyler Dawson, about the upcoming election, and other provincial headlines.
