I do give her credit for telling BC to get stuffed and forget any idea of us buying power from them until they get on board though
Nope she didn't say a carbon tax, she said they would appoint a committee to engage with all Albertans and come up with recommendations for how to proceed with a climate change strategy.

That panel headed by Andrew Leach with co-chairs from Suncor, Enbridge, NGOs and the aboriginal community recommended the best option moving forward for Alberta was a carbon tax and decommissioning of coal power. The NDP have acted upon this strategy as recommended.

So no they didn't implicitly say a carbon tax, but they did follow through with their platform on climate change.
