I think to myself that Alberta is a highly misunderstood place, that the people here are more relatable and complex than the stereotypes that I hear come so often from people in nearly every other province.

...and then each time I think that we can beat the stereotype, some random politician whose name I've never heard before shows up out of the woodworks to make a comment nobody asked for on an issue that doesn't affect us.

Shit like this pains me man

Alberta is so fucking weird man. Conservative as hell, but also has the most secure NDP federal seat in all of Canada (Edmonton-Strathcona) since like 2008. The rural-urban divide in Western Canada is honestly crazy when you get down to the nitty gritty of it.

Labour politics are not incompatible with conservatism! Wab Kinew is an Indigenous person leading the province probably most racist against First Peoples, and he's the most popular Premier in Canada. If people would get over the propaganda it doesn't take long to start remembering why the NDP has been one of the most effective and beneficial political forces of the last 100 years, all despite never forming a federal government.
