Carrots are rewards, sticks are punishments. Its a metaphor for a donkey and a cart.

There is no reward that the Premier can offer to the federal government... also I fail to see a threat she offers them.

The carrot is her ability to play nice if there is an open dialogue with the Feds.
What Alberta is doing is a very public and embarrassing open defiance to the Liberals.
