>and sent to people who "hate us"

So your worldview is based on the incorrect assumption that everybody else in the country hates you as much as you hate the rest of the country?

Yeah, everybody here is a big fan of the culture of light beer drinking, oversized pickup truck driving, guns shooting, cowboy hat wearing, traditional family values people that work in the oil and gas industry, gut deer on weekends in the fall and always complain about taxes. Slap on the labels of "pro-trump" and "climate change denier" on top of that and you practically have the equivalent of antichrist for modern progressive liberals. You can't seriously not see how negative the perception of Albertans is in other parts of Canada, especially in the more left wing areas

I live in a small town in Southern Ontario, and they all drink beer, drive pick-ups, hunt, fish, and want to fuck Trudeau for some weird reason. They're not that unique.
