Show us a positive vision for the province, a real plan to deal with inflation and reinvestment in healthcare, education, parks and cities -- then contrast that with another four years of UCP financial blunders, social conservatism and political theatre.

NDP will never win Alberta with a positive campaign. They need hate votes against the UPC to have a chance, (or a divided opponent). Too many Albertans have a libertarian bent to them that they confuse for conservatism, which the conservatives are happy to appeal to by throwing there values in the garbage. For a moderately conservative party like the Alberta NDP that carries a socialist name, they need to make a chunk of those people hate the other guys, and since they are relaying on the Motley name for political legitimacy they can't exactly bait and switch people with the name, that would just wreak off inauthenticity.
Also at risk of sounding nihilist, what the hell is a provincial government supposed to do about global supply side inflation?
