I also don't remember the same levels of vitriol that people had for Prentice, Klein or McIvor as they have for Notley. McIvor never had the status of Notley, Prentice didn't have the same amount of time in power and Klein was divisive but seemed to have a lot of AB on his side. I know you said you agree and this isn't directed at you.

Could it be because Notley is ramming through all sorts of things that no-one wanted or had even asked for? Her popularity outside the Edmonton Union crowd must be reaching staggeringly low levels by now.
