The Liberals don't care about Alberta's 26 parliamentary seats and they haven't for a long time. They have survived quite well without any representation from Alberta. They look at Alberta as a big tub of money that they desperately want to get their hands on so they can dole it out to other areas of the country to buy
their votes.... Quebec being one of those areas.
They figure that what support they lose in Alberta and Saskatchewan (have provinces) they will more than make up for in the some of the have-not provinces. Does NEP ring a bell?
