For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.
This community is not managed by NDP staff.

I assume we're talking about oil if we're talking about Western Canada. I agree that he hasn't discussed oil production in a positive way.
But I also disagree that he's focused on social issues versus economic ones. His focus has been on national solutions to reduce the cost of housing, groceries, telecoms, etc. Unless that's what you meant by social issues.
Either way, I can't say that provincial politics have even allowed the very provinces producing oil to even benefit from them suitably (expansion or not).
I'm not looking at the federal government to protect/expand my career prospects/industry - that's mostly a provincial matter. But I definitely want the federal government to make everyday life cheaper for me.
