I'm not Canadian, but my understanding is Alberta is basically the Texas of Canada. Maybe even worse, more like the Wyoming or Idaho of Canada.

The rural areas sure. Edmonton and Calgary are not. They’re the stronghold for the provincial NDP. Wasn’t too long ago that Alberta had an NDP government on the strength of their support in those two cities.

Not even in the rural areas really. We have our idiots true, but even bull riders around these parts are not all super out of touch.

Shhhh...last federal election 92% of Alberta seats were PC.

Two university ridings won't balance out Berta boneheads.
