NDP implemented carbon tax that they didn't campaign on and made everything more expensive.
When NDP took power in 2015, Alberta's debt was $11.9 billion, by 2019 it was $85.9 billion and climbing. In 2015 interest payments were under $800 million a year. When NDP left office, interest payments were over $2.3 billion.
The NDP drove up the debt, drove away businesses, implemented new taxes, raised corporate/individual taxes, and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Alberta was a complete mess after only 4 years.

The biggest issue here is that oil prices tanked which had nothing to do with the NDP.
The UCP have a larger budget going forward than the NDP did. You must hate that. Except oil prices recovered so it's less of an issue
Your arguments are silly and you know it. The NDP did a royalty review and decided against it, that's what I expect from my political leaders, make good decisions based on the info they have.
Literally everything is more expensive under the UCP. Insurance, utilities, school fees, etc. The NDP didn't chase away any businesses. Are you upset that Husky left after the UCP gave them 100's of millions in tax cuts. Guess the UCP chased away business too.
All your complaints apply to the UCP too an even greater degree. Bizarre reasoning.
