A trio of star endorsements with Calgary connections were made in recent days, hoping to sway voters in the battleground city in the final days of the provincial election.

On Thursday morning, Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre provided a prerecorded endorsement of UCP Leader Danielle Smith.

Poilievre repeated the United Conservatives' lines of attack, including the so-called “NDP-Liberal coalition,” the Alberta NDP’s plans for corporate taxes and the UCP’s plan to “stand up for Alberta.”

On Friday morning, former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi penned a column saying despite a personal history of voting for a wide range of political parties, he was “lending” his vote to the NDP's Rachel Notley.

He later joined Notley at a campaign rally in a Calgary-Foothills backyard to endorse her in person.

“I believe that Danielle Smith is an existential threat to the future of Alberta,” Nenshi said at the rally event. “And I believe that we don’t know which Danielle Smith is going to show up for work.”

Jaden Lee-Lincoln speaks with political commentator Graham Thomson about the final push on the campaign trail ahead of Monday’s election in Alberta.
