I tend to think that most Albertan's that we talk to want someone that's going to go hard after the federal Government in terms of heavy option steps if this pipeline stuff continues to drag.


I think the perception is that Rachel was too soft and accommodating for two long on the file, and then when she did talk about putative steps



Turning off shipments or limiting shipments to BC
Not supporting the Federal Climate Plan
The wine ban etc.


She talked a good game but didn't do much to follow through.


Right now Albertan's are seething, the Federal Liberals not putting Alberta Oil on the agenda for the First Ministers meeting was a tactical mistake by the Feds, it makes them look insincere and uncaring after Trudeau came out last week and called this a crisis.


I think what the electorate wants is someone more strident, I don't know if that's the right word. But Notley is lacking credibility in that area with the lack of execution above, and doing things like not putting a Carbon Tax in her platform in the last election.


Albertan's will probably elect Kenney because they're saavy enough to know that Eastern Canada is going to put Trudeau in power for 4 more years and they want harder action.


Just my two cents.
