It could also be they are spatting siblings (to use someone else’s analogy from before) and they simply both geared for a fight they know someone willl break up before it gets crazy.
Either way, Notley would have absolutely known this was coming, and probably knows the endgame. I don’t think we are there yet. And I don’t think there is any way Alberta wins. The only question is who wins and loses politically.

Yeah I have thought very much along the same lines. Whole thing is staged so each can appeal to their constituents in hopes of getting re-elected. Obviously she will be in a battle in AB so she needs to look like she is "pro pipeline", while he is in a battle every single day to appease the Greens and stay in power which requires being "anti-pipeline" to a great degree.
As we all know there is not supposed to be a difference between Federal and Provincial NDP ideologies, therefore its impossible for their to be a difference between provincial parties.
I thought it was a bit conspiratorial and really hope that they arent holding Alberta's citizenry hostage, but that seed of doubt is still there to me.
