Edmonton Sherwood Park
In 2008 James Ford came close to winning as an independent conservative. He is running again and the Conservatives are not doing brilliant in Alberta. It possible the Conservatives will lose this seat.
Simcoe-Grey
This is the seat held by Helena Guergis and she is running as an independent since she was expelled from the Conservative caucus. Guergis has no hope of winning but simply by running the split in the right wing vote may be large enough to allow the Liberals to win this seat.

I was in Edmonton in '08 and I think the near win by Ford simply represented a lot of disgruntled Conservatives unhappy about the nomination process (not to mention the possible racist motivations). I would wager that a sizeable number of them have gotten over it and we'll see Ford go the way that the HST and recalls seems to be going.
