Given the mentality of  many Alberta voters, I think the NDP is going to be in trouble in the next election.*

Last time the price of oil tanked, it lasted for 14 years.  Adjusted for inflation, 12 of those years the price was below $40  until the year 2000.**

I wonder who is going to be scapegoated after the next Alberta election.

* Harper increased his vote by 3% to capture 60% of Alberta voters in 2015 despite a despicable campaign that blatantly dog-whistled to a particular type of voter [the only province where the CPC increased its vote while it collapsed in all other regions of the country].
