Has the Alberta NDP just had itsSyriza moment?
Is Alberta dominated by the oil industry the same way Greece is dominated by the Eurozone?
To many of the Alberta governing party's long-time supporters it may seem so tonight.
Syriza, as readers will recall, was the leftist coalition led by Alexis Tsipras, elected to govern Greece in January 2015 by vowing to fight Eurozone austerity. Something changed, and in the end Prime Minister Tsipras and his party embraced the European Union's brutal austerity.
