Because, make no mistake, the long, hard road to the next provincial election is about to begin here in Alberta.
After more than 18 months in power, the days of blaming the last lot for current problems are finally over and the “gee-shucks, what can we do about low worldwide energy prices” blather has also run its course.
Nope, the New Democrats have no one else to blame if 2017 turns into a mirror image of what the province lived through during this dreadful year we’re thankfully about to see in the rear view mirror. All the posturing, cajoling and lecturing the government engages upon won’t amount to a hill of beans in Wild Rose Country if the jobs don’t return.
Nelson usually gets thing right but he misses the point that Red Rachel WILL create lots of jobs. They will all be phony green jobs like West Fraser's liginin recovery project here in Hinton but nobody seems to care anymore that their job makes the country poorer.
