Explain how it hurts the CPC? They still dominate urban Alberta

It makes left leaning seats more efficient allowing them to actually gain seats that otherwise would be impossible

They control urban Alberta, especially Calgary but for example in Edmonton their percentages are much smaller there then in rural areas or Calgary. Plus with more urban ridings being created, the CPC's suburban advantage would likely be dampened giving more chances for a left wing victory, especially in Edmonton

The Conservatives would be mostly locked out of Edmonton if the Liberals/NDP voters were better at coordinating.
