What specific actions and/or policies could possibly make you consider the Liberals? When Trudeau announced he was running for the party leadership, his first speech was in his home riding (as is customary), but his second speech was in Calgary. He's spoken to Alberta's business leaders at the Petroleum Club, and he supports increasing oilsands development and pipeline construction (including Keystone XL). While there are many legitimate reasons to criticize him (I certainly have a few of my own), "he doesn't care about Alberta and our interests" isn't one of them.
