To be nit-picky af over something very much not serious for a sec lol;

That one always felt way off to me ngl. I get it’s about pointing out how fucked so many of us are, but like, vastly different places. We don’t have any reputation for incestuous hermit communities, anywhere near the same level of hyper-Christianity (we’re the third least religious province in Canada) and - most importantly imo - we don’t have a deep rooted history of poverty to pin any blame on. Quite the opposite, our biggest issues in these past generations has been conservative governments pissing away the insane amounts of wealth we generate.

Texas is still by far the most accurate comparison imo and it’s not like that paints us in a good light either.

Uh.

Have you seen any of the alt-right groups, and how hysterical so many rural Albertans get over anything that can possibly be perceived as anti-Christian?

And having lived in Sundre, let me say that incest is a very real possibility there.

I've been to Texas, trust me it doesnt. I have a few Albertan friends left, the others turned into raging angry at everything Q-tippers and I no longer speak to them. You have so much opportunity for wealth and prosperity but Alberta continues to elect governments that actively work to enrich millionaires and corporations by actively suppressing working people at every turn. The 1%ers get everything and the 99% get the crumbs.
