Listened to an interview on the radio last week, it was the weekly Alberta political wrap up from Edmonton. The guy said the Alberta NDP has asked it's members not to publicly support, work for, or campaign for the BC NDP in any shape or form due to the extreme differences in policy regarding energy and pipeline developement. So yeah, if the NDP win it will not be helpful for Kinder Morgan expansion at all. But on the other hand the last time the NDP were in power it turned out to be pretty good for Alberta due to the amount of business driven out of that province and into ours. If I recall one of the local Chambers of Commerce named BC Premier Glen Clark man of the year for the amount of business he drove out of BC and into Alberta.
Anyways, always interesting to watch. And interesting to see the huge divide between Vancouver./ Vancouver Island and basically the rest of BC. But I guess that is not much different that what we see all over Canada, including Alberta.
