Well the NEP was a huge kick to the balls of many Albertans. The GST didn't make people lose their jobs and houses.
I always thought the Liberals always had at least a chance to win more than one seat in Alberta before the NEP. Now they don't have any chance at all (except for those crazy Edmontonians
)
