Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh kept their campaign machines rolling Saturday -- and they focused their efforts on their parties' historic strongholds.

Scheer promoted the Conservatives' pledge to build a national energy corridor during a stop in Edmonton, where he took the stage with an old friend: Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.Scheer, who also planned to visit Saskatoon on Saturday, urged cheering supporters to help his party win a handful of ridings in Alberta that the party lost in the 2015 election. Four years ago, the Liberals won four seats from the Tories in Calgary and Edmonton.

Kenney told the crowd that Scheer will be a prime minister "we will never have to be embarrassed about." On the West Coast, Singh campaigned Saturday for a fifth consecutive day in British Columbia, where the NDP won 14 seats in 2015. He's running for re-election in the Vancouver-area riding of Burnaby-South.

"We know that B.C. is also a province that also feels neglected -- being on the West Coast a lot of times people feel like they're ignored and I want to make sure people in B.C. know that I've got their back," he said when asked about all the attention he's been paying to the province. When he visited New Brunswick last Monday it marked his first visit to the province since winning the party's leadership two years ago. He apologized for not getting there sooner.

Yeah he is 'lingering' to campaign among the people not the rich elite in Alberta.

ZERO seats for NDP in Alberta for sure
