Fringe social policies will take a MAJOR back seat to the economic turmoil that will likely result in Alberta from the Liberal feds, when the provincial regime is so weak and mis-guided.

The Liberals are going to use their mandate to force a few things: a carbon tax of some sort (one that is likely punitive to Alberta), they will facilitate a pipeline deal which is designed to "share" Alberta resource revenue with Quebec, Ontario and BC.

It will be, in effect, a slightly more insidious version of the NEP all over again.
According to Kent Hehr, it will not be a NEP type program and there will be no cap and trade. A Carbon tax will likely be on the agenda, but is not a guarantee.
