“The NDP are kind of desperate, looking around for something they can say every day that will change the subject from the economy or from their track record,” he says.

Wall figures they can’t do much else but run hard on the social media trail of candidates and go after Kenney every which way they can.

“The premier’s record on pipelines, which I can attest to personally, is not one of support, I can promise you that. "That’s what I saw first hand.” “They don’t like the energy sector,” Wall says of the Notley NDP. “Deep down where they live they were protesting only a handful of years ago against the sector that pays the bills in this province and for so much of the country.”

Wall remembers the exact day Notley announced the carbon tax she never campaigned on in the last election. “The premier basically says those who criticize our industry, they’re right. Maybe it is dirty oil,” recalls Wall. “So we’re going to tax ourselves. We’re going to charge this indulgence for our sins and maybe get some sort of social licence.” How about Notley on the Keystone XL pipeline? Missing in action. What about the Northern Gateway pipeline? She walked away from demanding the federal government continue on with it.”

“The premier was a very reliable ally of the prime minister at every turn.” He tells a story. Wall pitched Trudeau to cough up cash so oilpatch workers could get back on the job cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells. Trudeau turned Wall down flat. Notley wasn’t interested in Wall’s idea. She didn’t back Wall.

“I think, frankly, out of deference to Justin Trudeau.”
