If they want real change in Alberta they would rebrand something a little less Toronto leftist, but not Tory right and they would win the cities firstly causing a PC minority, eventually being able to get a few Cochrane/Airdrie type ridings to form a slim majority.

Very similar to what the Sask Party did by dropping the PC brand which had been tainted. Its sometimes easier to rebrand than to fix your original brand.
That's a really good solution, though I also disagree that 'everything' can be blamed on Trudeau.

The Liberals need to disband and rebrand as a genuine fiscally conservative/socially moderate party provincially if they want to have any success here in the next 20 years.

Though I also agree that internally they're a mess... they need their stronger members to come forward, quit their high-paying downtown jobs, and devote their lives to politics. There's a lot of impressive members they have, but none of the ones making it in the private sector have been (stupid?) bold enough to do anything. And I don't blame them.
