And THAT is a big problem in Alberta - a lot of the more conservative base has come to identify heavily with a lot of American conservative ideals, up to and including throwing American or Confederate flags on their stuff and parroting the same ideology in the form of bumper stickers. There's even a movement to secede and petition to join the United States. It's very bizarre.
