Hard to win in Alberta with the over representation of rural Alberta at the Legislature. The NDP were never going to win seats in rural Alberta in any real numbers. The corporate tax rate probably did not make a lick of difference in rural Alberta.

Hopefully the federal Liberals learned something from the Alberta election, you can really work with Pierre to drive the divide between rural and urban and win the next election. That divide cut the wrong way for the NDP but probably breaks differently in a federal election.
