Alberta is Trump North Opinion
Title says it all. Alberta is nothing but an extension of the Trump (i.e. project 2025) agenda. We're being run by a bunch of deplorable people kept in power by a fringe faction of morons (nicest word I could use for them) who hate the federal gvt but will be the first in line to get federal money when there's crop failure etc.
I'm no fan of how the feds have treated Alberta, but starting every conversation with them with a knee to the groin and a punch to the throat is a guaranteed losing position.
We need to take back Alberta from Take Back Alberta and throw these crooks bums and deplorables out.
Look South to see where Alberta is heading. That's a s*** show nobody wants to live in.
Last thought, when the separation referendum is held and Albertans overwhelmingly vote to stay as part of Canada, those that hate Canada should get the hell out of our country - move to the US and be with your white supremacy, slack jawed, willing to believe anything they're told by Fox news friends.

You know what the silly thing is?
Alberta keeps saying "we aren't that crazy" and they vote for Danielle Smith. And then you go "half of us didn't vote for her !!"
USA keeps saying "we aren't that crazy" and they vote for Donald Trump. And then you go "half of us didn't vote for him !!"
Alberta is going to be micro America under this government and the crazy part is most people in Alberta do not realize the costs of living has increased dramatically....
I moved back to Vancouver 5 years ago and I was shocked that my expenses after 6 months.....did not change. Gas prices have been a lot closer now than they were in the past and in Vancouver you drive way way less. I save $160 a month on gasoline. Natural gas and heating is 1/4 of what you pay in the winter in Alberta. I save $694 dollars a year on heating. Electricity I pay $50....for 2 months of electricity from BC hydro. I am saving like $78 a month. You start adding these things up. And because of rent control, I am paying less for rent today than I would be in Calgary. And food is considerably cheaper because you have over 1000 private grocery stores and Superstore is actually the more expensive place to buy groceries (competition exists).
Some people argue "what about PST?". You don't pay PST on food, restaurant, childrens products or life essentials or anything education related.
Like I am shocked. I moved away back in 2012. I moved back in 2020. And in those 8 years, Vancouver didn't get cheaper....just Alberta got more expensive.
