Latest polling, and I bet last week's events wont help this at all!

Honest question, are the provincial NDP in Alberta as mental as the federal NDP?

I'd say no...but for many the thought of anyone but the party they know (despite changing many times under the same color of coat) is akin to devil worship.

I will give them credit...they are the only party in my voting lifespan that has offered a complete set of candidates for an election. Where they lack however is being extremely urban focused and they don't have supporting volunteers/campaign staff that the UCP does. UCP are constantly campaigning it seems when it comes to donations, presence at trade shows etc...NDP is very quiet.

No, they are pro pipeline, and even Notley heavily distanced her self from the federal NDP policies, openly being critical of them. Nenshi hasnt gone thst far yet but he isnt anti oil either.

IIRC, I think it was Nenshi or someone else in the AB NDP that said they had no intention on meeting with Lewis or the Fed NDP unless they eased up on the anti-O&G stuff.

Not even close. Notley campaigned for pipelines.

It seems that Nenshi has pulled back the PR/ campaigning/fundraising activities. They were in the news a lot more when Notley was running the show.

Don't forgot she originally protested against the pipelines and any and all oil and gas. Then 3 months into the program realized where the money comes from for all things nice in the province.
By then between the Federal Gov and Provincial of Ab and Bc they had driven out much of the investment into the process turning billion dollar projects into tens of billions of dollars.
