It seemed that would be a tough comparison. I mean, Stelmach was a terrible public speaker and came across as indecisive and incredibly poor leader. Redford has a much stronger educational background, but her inability to deal effectively with several negative issues quickly has Taras calling her "unprepared, unable to command facts, and performing poorly." Barry Cooper from UofC says she isn't a leader in any normal sense of the word.
Whether she really is as bad as Stelmach or not, you have to admit the comparison alone is extremely unflattering.

There are some similarities in the way they came to power, being "everyone's second choice" isn't a ringing endorsement. I don't think she's an especially dynamic leader, and doesn't appear able to drive the agenda in any meaningful way.
