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.

You were only 1300 votes away from an NDP government.

And now god-mayor Nenshi is the candidate, and you can win an Albertan election with just Calgary and Edmonton. It feels like the Conservatives have accepted their fate and are now seeing how much shit they can get in before then.

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.

[-] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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.

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.

Yes, there's definite scapegoat action there. We see Doug Ford, you little shits. This is pretty much the trash-talk map, though, so I'll let it slide.

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Shh, we unfortunately got infected with Doug Ford and can't seem to find a cure. We're literally willing to try experimental drugs at this point.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I’m pretty sure drugs is how you got him

I love Alberta. I don't love the people you'll find in smaller communities but it's a beautiful province and there's a lot of great things about Edmonton and Calgary. I'd rather live here than anywhere else in the country. I just don't know that I can.

Where do you come from originally?

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I came here from Michigan back in 2017.
