Everyone said the same thing about Trump's chances!
I'm not a fan of O'Leary, but what does make him more palatable is that he's socially very liberal: pro-feminist, pro-immigration, pro-LBGTQ (whatever the hell this acronym is now), pro-abortion rights, pro-marijuana etc whereas Trump has taken gun-toting Bible-thumping Republicanism even far to the right.
As for Notley, the irony is that the NDP under her is not your dad's socialist NDP anymore, her version is more akin to Tony Blair's New Labour or Lougheed's PCs. Her pro-oil, pro-pipeline stance is at odds with other NDP parties, and is likely making Pam Barrett spin in her grave
