The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, April 28, edition that Albertans cast their ballots next week. The Globe's Justin Giovannetti writes that the NDP and the Wildrose Party are pulling votes away from Progressive Conservative leader Jim Prentice. Mr. Prentice has declared that "Alberta is not an NDP province." He has warned the NDP would wreck Alberta's energy-dependent economy through a program that includes a 2-per-cent increase in corporate taxes and a royalty review. The NDP position on pipelines has also come under attack. NDP leader Rachel Notley has not been a strong proponent of the construction of TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline or Enbridge's Northern Gateway. Both projects have been stalled for years, facing mass protest and lingering environmental questions. Ms. Notley has said that as premier she would be "realistic" about the long-stalled projects and would concentrate on advocating for the construction of the Energy East pipeline, linking Alberta with refineries and export terminals in Eastern Canada. Mr. Prentice has said the NDP philosophy "is not focused on the creation of jobs." He said Monday he "will fight for every single pipeline project."
