The federal Liberals have been shut out of the province of Alberta in the last three elections, but think they can win Edmonton Centre now that three-term Conservative MP Laurie Hawn isn’t running again. The Liberals held the riding for 13 years between 1993-2006. But an Alberta-based academic says the only way the Liberals can win any seat in the province is if there is a strong wave of support for the party nationally with the strong possibility of forming government.
