I just think people associate provincial liberals with federal liberals. And while there is some overlap, generally they are very different animals.
A business or party keeps a name because of the Goodwill it represents (in the economic/financial sense - the positive feeling people associate with your "brand"). But in Alberta it would make sense for the Alta Liberals to re-brand themselves; just to get a clean start without the association to the Trudeau/Chretien federal Liberals.
