Yeah, that is what bothered me too. When it became clear that Notley was riding her way to victory, I was really hoping she would govern from an Alberta perspective. Instead, she seems beholden to the thought processes of BC socialists and - until the federal wing went batcrap crazy - Thomas Mulcair's needs.
I know I'm biased, but it really feels like the actual people who actually live here are well down the list of Notley's priorites
