(Reuters) - Canada's corporate oil capital Calgary will be a crucial battleground in Alberta's provincial election on Monday, with the latest polling suggesting Rachel Notley's left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) holds a slight edge in the city.

The closely-fought race reflects the increasing diversity of Alberta's largest city, home to the headquarters of nearly all of Canada's oil and gas companies.
