I agree that the NEP was garbage, but it was also before my time. Can't help but wonder, though, how much damage might have been done by the Conservatives if they had been able to implement Flaherty's "no recession, therefore no stimulus" fiscal update in 2008.

I also agree that an exemption-laden cap-and-trade is anti-Alberta, as is blocking West Coast tanker traffic. My point, however, is that if the Liberals have no hope of getting elected in Alberta, then it's logical for them to be anti-Alberta and they have no incentive to change.
