Not gonna argue that Kenney has a whole whack of golden moments, and while Notley probably wouldn't have pulled the same crazy antics that Kenney did, I'd hardly think she is that much smarter than Kenney. Have you forgotten her "turn off the tap" legislation against BC? The BC wine ban?
Alberta's economic track record under Notley wasn't particularly good. You can blame it on low oil prices, but I also seem to recall that the Alberta NDP government also didn't handle the recession all that well.
Also, it would be entirely unrealistic to think that any Alberta premier would not be staunchly supportive of the Alberta oil sector. The oil sector is and will continue to be Alberta's primary revenue generator in at least the short and medium term. Personally, given the stubborn ways Albertans outside of Calgary and Edmonton behaves, I am not too convinced that Alberta will see a smooth transition away from the oil and gas sector.
