I don't mind this. I think the Fed Liberals and the provincial NDP seemed to both realize that saying stuff and actually governing are two different beasts. I blame voters that fall for the rhetoric every time.

Notley has said a lot of the right things, and while I don't particularly agree with a lot of her policies, she's playing hardball here and there and really making our case out there with the rest of Canada.

She's also doing a lot of what she said she was going to do when she got elected (carbon tax, min wage, tax increases, royalty review etc.) so really none of this should be any surprise. In fact, the magnitude of these have shown that she's willing to compromise a bit. I was expecting a far larger carbon tax, a massive change to royalties etc etc, but she's struck a solid middle ground.
