Far too many people in Alberta think "woke mind virus" is a real thing, west is under attack from muslims and trans people are forcing life changing medical interventions on all children.
They are the type who think public executions should be brought back.
Of course the entire province isn't like that. But there are far too many crazies and bigots in Alberta. Alberta also imports lots of crazies and bigots from other provinces. Oil patch is full of them.
UCP winning again won't shock me one bit. Especially when NDP got a brown muslim dude as their leader. It's great that the party itself is mature enough to elect him. Rural voters in Alberta aren't.
