But he's technically not even elected yet (he'll be parachuted in should he win), so at the very least he can play the outsider card. The other two unequivocally can't, particularly not Lukaszuk
As to the other provinces, well, the other provinces are nowhere near as rich as Alberta, nor do they have to go out and sell something like the oilsands to most of the free world. The private planes unto themselves are fine, the abuse of those planes is the issue. But we sort of need our premier going out to sell the oilsands everywhere. So long as it's used properly, I don't have much of a problem with it.
