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.

The win ban was over trans mountain and BC lost the battle. Notley brought in tax credits for business in tech bringing in a number of companies. kenny ended the program. kenny bet a 1.3 billion on the US election and lost. Biden said if he won he would cancel the keystone xl pipe line. kenny still invested in the project thinking trump would win.
