Alberta is a diehard right wing province that has had conservative rule for something like 42 of the last 50 years.

We also have a massive American influence crowd sporting confederate flags, Maga hats, flags, and stickers.

Were also steamrolling towards privitized healthcare, deregulation of environment rights, and legal bribery.

So yeah, Alberta hates 'rural' Alberta for putting us through this shit repeatedly

IIRC Calgary has voted pretty blue at times. There's people here that hate the direction we've been going, myself included, but I don't really think we can claim to be representative.

Good news is, I have trouble imagining a scenario where Nenshi loses the next time around.

You're totally correct. Red deer is also a usual blue but occasional wild card.

Elections can't come fast enough. Stay strong fellow Albertan ❤️
