Most, maybe all of the BC environmental groups would prefer Kenney in office to Notley. I think if you asked the David Suzuki foundation for example, they would view Kenney in power as preferable to notley both politically and in absolute environmental terms. BC Environmental groups had the same attitude towards Harper.
Easier to fund raise, easier to attack, easier to be obstinate.
Having two provincial NDP government's battling it out is not exactly the political theatre environmental groups need to galvanize their base supporters.
Kenney's bluster about turning off the taps is tremendously flavourful red meat for a certain segment of the Alberta voter, but it's absolutely toxic to Alberta's interests outside of Alberta.
I think that a provincial NDP government and a federal liberal government, even if it's just lip service, both being unequivocal about their support for Trans Mountain should be awe-inspiring for many dyed-blue albertans.
