Just look at our list of premiers over the last decade:
Ed Stelmach
Alison Redford
Dave Hancock (very briefly)
Jim Prentice
Rachel Notley
There was a time that I liked Prentice but that evaporated quickly. If we're arguing who is worse than the others in the list above, I'd exclude Hancock as a placeholder, he did nothing. Beyond that, and shockingly, Ed Stelmach was arguably the best Premier we've had in the last decade. Think about that.
If I were arguing about the worst, Notley would now edge out Redford for me, and not just because I don't agree with Notley's politics. She's proven to be pretty poisonous handling Alberta's finances, and while I wouldn't go quite so far as Resolute to say they're zealots - yet-, its certainly appearing that they are operating with ideology in mind, to hell with the consequences. For now I think its a combination of ideology with a lack of due diligence.
