In tonight's top story: Voters in Alberta are heading to the polls, where the UCP is looking to win its second consecutive majority, while the Alberta NDP is fighting to repeat its triumph from 2015. Heather Yourex-West explains why at least one political scientist believes a higher voter turnout could hurt the UCP.

Also, Eric Sorensen looks at how the province's politics have become more dynamic after decades of predictable votes. And, Dawna Friesen reports on the right-wing group claiming it controls UCP leader Danielle Smith.

And a wildfire burning out-of-control near Halifax has forced more than 16,000 people from their homes, and the situation is worsening due to dry weather and gusting winds. Callum Smith reports on the race to contain the fire in the Tantallon, N.S., and Hammonds Plains, N.S., areas, and the financial support the government is offering evacuees.

Plus, calls are growing for David Johnston to step aside as special rapporteur investigating alleged foreign interference in Canada's democratic process. Touria Izri explains why opposition parties want Johnston to resign and how NDP MP Jenny Kwan says she's been targeted by Beijing.
