The impact on the Livingston-Macleod will be the following:
The Blood Reserve is transferred to Cardston-Taber-Warner. The portion of the existing Highwood electoral division south of High River and a small area on the Northwest is transferred to this electoral division. The portion of the existing Foothills-Rocky View electoral division south of the Tsuu T'ina Nation Reserve is transferred to this electoral division.
The population of the new riding will be 42,420 3.77% higher than the average riding.

What impact, if any, do you think this will have on Menzies and the conservatives in this riding? Strengthens their base? Weakens it? No impact?
No impact I believe federally that outside of a few ridings in Edmonton and even less in Calgary, Alberta will vote Conservative for the forseeable future.
