It's not only about opposing pipelines. Singh has openly said he would shut down the oilsands and fossil fuel industry in Canada. Yes it's a major issue to fly the NDP brand in Alberta. This thread is largely an echo chamber for those that hate the UCP but you can understand that it's pretty difficult for a lot of Albertans to vote for a party associated with Singh after some of the idiotic things he has said over the years regarding Canada's O&G industry. Not sure how well a CP provincial party would fare in Ontario if say the Conservative leader of the day said stupid things like declaring he would shut down the manufacturing industry in Ontario. Singh has done the Alberta NDP's zero favors.
