    In the past Premier Notley and Shannon Phillips have demonstrated against pipelines so I find it very hard to believe they support them now. Will never support a carbon tax, Germany has promoted a green energy transition without one.

      That's quite a turnaround for notely, from campaighning against oil and pipelines to now supporting them. I give her credit for changing her mind, time will tell if it was just lip service or boots on the ground.

        Will some of you anti NDs or anti carbontax people tell w me what is the difference between paying 9 cents to the oil cos or to the province. 9 cents is 9 cents,there is a posibility we may get something for our tax but not a dam thing from oil cos. Well mabey some more bonuses for the over worked and under paid oil patch employes.

          This is a very shocking for politicians to hold such important roles in an oil producing province. It will be a lesson learned for Albertans that yes it can be worse and to background check party leaders for anti-energy agendas.

          Notley failed to achieve her goal of getting a social license for building pipelines by incorporating a carbon tax in Alberta. The "carbon tax" didn't even achieve a "social license" with the federal NDP. This is a huge failure and will be part of her demise in the next election.
          The Alberta NDP will fry in the next provincial election but this endorsement of the Leap Manifesto by the NDP convention will add fuel to the fire.

          We have a lot to be thankful for living in Saskatchewan where we have a government proud of oil, gas, potash, uranium and modern agriculture. Alberta seems to be ashamed of the resources that have made them successful.

                It is interesting to witness the death of the Saskatchewan NDP in front of our eyes.

                The perpetual Saskawhiner socialists will need to take some time to accept it and move on or else stay miserable.

                    I've been busy so I haven't got all the news but did the loony left or centrists push out Mulcair? If the loonies punted him they'll be so far left even a good Saskatchewan ndp'er won't touch them federally.
