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.

I think that this is exactly what's happening. Horgan can't back down now without nothing, and he is hoping that the feds ride in and give him some money or something to placate the supporters. We all know that they're both accidental premiers though, so they have no choice but to engineer something to try to retain power when the day comes.
I also have no doubt that the federal government is working behind the scenes. They've made strongly worded statements that this is going forward and I think they see the value to Canada as a whole.
