It is baffling to me.

I don't think they're a boogeyman in Alberta so much as we question their need. Highest revenue in ages and yet we still have a deficit, highest per capita health care spending in the country and yet still some of the longest waiting times, etc.
There are clear inefficiencies in how things are operated in this province. I think we'd rather fix those inefficiencies than just throw more money at the problem. If we've fixed them and are STILL running a deficit, then I don't think Albertans would have any problem at all increasing taxes.
