I get the need to blame someone, and I understand the anger (this affects me too) but let's be honest here. We would be in exactly the same position no matter who was in power right now.

Honestly, I would be more terrified for the province if oil was at $100/bbl and the NDP were in power. I can only imagine the cash grabbing and piling on of taxes that would ensue.
It is all a moot point. If the price of oil had been at $100/bbl during the election, the NDP wouldn't have been elected anyways.
To say that the price of oil is irrelevant is disingenuous on both sides of the argument. The NDP wouldn't be in power if it was at $100/bbl, but they are in power now that it is far lower.
To absolve them of all criticism due to the prevailing oil price is asinine. We have had a front row seat to some of the most inept provincial governance in history.
Literally every decision that has been made by the NDP has either caused public outrage (followed by a quick retreat by Notley), or blatant embarrassment to the NDP (who flips the bird in the legislature? Really that's not surprising, as our fan favorite Deborah Drever flipped the bird to the Canadian flag.....).
Only 3 more years to go.
