I kind of hate that I wound up in Alberta of all places, as I don’t support the UCP or agree with oil hicks and seperatists on much of anything, but I’ll be damned if I haven’t put down roots, started a family, and made a beautiful life here. I guess someone has to stick around to offer resistance and try to keep these idiots from privatizing healthcare. Red Deer nearly flipped orange last election. Never imagined I’d see that happen.
Hey, at least it wasn’t Montreal. Which according to the data is the only place with mixed feelings about Alberta, likely due to being unanimously hated, even by Alberta.
As long as politics aren’t being discussed, it’s easy to forget you even live in a conservative province. For the most part everyone is just normal people going about their lives like anywhere else. I get real fucking tired of the Trudeau circle-jerk, though. I get the impression most people don’t even know enough about politics to explain why they hate him so much. A lot of them still think he controls the price of fuel.
It’s a good way to guage someone’s character, though. The moment a person you’re unfamiliar with starts talking about/blaming Trudeau, you usually know they’re not worth talking to.

You were only 1300 votes away from an NDP government.

I thought the data showed Montreal definitively hates Alberta AND the rest of Canada.
I live in Montréal and I hate the ROC as much as I hate Montréal, Alberta included.
It’s almost like Alberta isn’t the unlivable shithole the rest of Lemmy thinks it is and makes sure to say every fucking time it’s mentioned.

Where do you come from originally?
I came here from Michigan back in 2017.
So you’re American
Excellent deduction.
Thanks 😅
