Far too many people in Alberta think "woke mind virus" is a real thing, west is under attack from muslims and trans people are forcing life changing medical interventions on all children.

They are the type who think public executions should be brought back.

Of course the entire province isn't like that. But there are far too many crazies and bigots in Alberta. Alberta also imports lots of crazies and bigots from other provinces. Oil patch is full of them.

UCP winning again won't shock me one bit. Especially when NDP got a brown muslim dude as their leader. It's great that the party itself is mature enough to elect him. Rural voters in Alberta aren't.

You're not wrong about the imported hate. I'm old enough to remember when the population doubled 20 years ago in less than 5 years. A lot of the people who washed out of polite society in other provinces picked up a shovel and headed here. A lot of "dyed in the wool Albertans" are actually just other provinces trash taking themselves out, and we ended up their landfill.

I still believe there's enough people to win. Even in the small towns, there's a lot more of us than there looks like, we just don't go around broadcasting it because the right tends to resort to violence and vandalism.

Ironic how they always go on about crime and drugs while their own people are shooting meth and assaulting people.

I did have to laugh during the referendum because the only signs absolutely destroyed were the pro separatists ones. Some one in Cochrane really hated separatists.
