Alberta Election 2015: The PCs Were Sad, Sad, Sad As Results Rolled In

Alberta's Progressive Conservative Party (PC) could only watch as their once-mighty empire drowned beneath an orange wave in the provincial election on Tuesday night.

Rachel Notley's Alberta New Democrats (NDP) grabbed enough seats to form a majority.

Few people were as sad as Conservative supporters, especially those expecting to celebrate at party headquarters.

First two rows of chairs at PC HQ reserved, presumably for VIPs. All chairs empty. #ctvelection #abvotes pic.twitter.com/paYRZ1liNn
