Alberta politics today is like Texas in the 1990s. Freedom. Hatred of the national government. Denialism (climate/vaccinations/gravity etc). Pickup trucks.

Alberta politics today is like Texas in the 1990s. Freedom. Hatred of the national government. Denialism (climate/vaccinations/gravity etc). Pickup trucks. Guns. Oil. If someone says don't do something, a large portion of Albertans will do it out of spite. The only place I've every even heard of rolling coal in Canada was in northern Alberta, home of the oil sands.
Typical example: in BC people turn on their head/taillights in bad weather. In Alberta, heck no. Lights don't come on until legally mandated at sunset. Freedom.

- osigurdson 3y agoI think this is all red states, which is nearly half. These are not "niche" attitudes.
- sandworm101 3y agoNot really anymore. Texas cities are recently much more liberal and down to earth than thier extreemist hinterlands. The stereotype diminishes every year.
