Things like allowing pipelines to be built would help the Alberta economy. NOTE: this is not "fixing" private industry. This is allowing private industry to do their work, and betters the job creation environment. Reducing corporate tax benefits job creation.
I currently have no vested interest in the Alberta economy other than my parents living there and I used to live there, so I have no reason to have a political agenda. I'd just rather see Alberta and Canada flourish. I think the NDP's statement sends the wrong message. Where's the "we will get through this together as Albertans" message?

One of the biggest jobs of a government is to inspire confidence. They are supposed to be the ones that have the plan, or at least thoughts on how to manage the province or the country.
This message inspires no confidence that they have any idea of how to fix or improve things.
Its the whole message of "There's nothing here for you now, hopefully when things improve you can come back"
Not, this is what we're doing, this is what people without work can look forward to, this is our plan.
It was more along the lines of "Get Out" in an Arnold accent.
The NDP has done very little to inspire confidence or trust and that's the broken tenant of government.
