If the NDP is forced to go after Union roll backs in their something like 170 negotiations this year, the Unions might turn on them.

I am in Edmonton quite frequently, I have sense no change in the attitude to the NDP. However, since they have not been hit as hard as Calgary has (what seems like it on the whole), I suspect that sentiment may change or they may become more vocal when job losses really start to mount. However I deal with health care professionals more than anything, and they seem relatively concrete job-wise.
