Isn't Alberta full of stupid red necks?
Hosers.
It is the Texas of Canada... And sometimes they forget they aren't actually Texas
Is that perhaps the setting of letterkenny?
No, Sudbury is, and a good representation too.
Hey Canadian friends, what happened to that lunatic that proclaimed herself the queen of Canada and convinced her caravan followers to stop paying their bills and stuff? I haven't really seen anything about her in a while. I remember towns were barring her and her followers from entering, but I think that's the last I heard.
That one is so wild. Filipino lady who claims she was gifted Canada. How does someone come up with that? She's either a top tier grifter or she's mentally ill
She's still around. Laying low for the most part but still screwing with peoples lives.
Just FYI, Alberta is the Arkansas of Canada
I'm thinking a cold West Texas: oil and cattle.
As an Albertan, ew
Is it Alberta or the city of Calgary that has an Arby's cowboy hat on their flag?
Calgary
Good fucking god I hate Albertans

The fantasy is always better than the real thing.
Only if he moves to Taber. Or Mayerthorpe. Or Edmonton. Them good ole AB cuntry folk love them some authoritarian figure-heads. Have fun, 34-times-convicted-felon.
Isn't Edmonton the Liberal / NDP powerhouse of Alberta?
Exactly. He'd be more comfortable in Caroline AB which is where the KKK are.
Wait what? I lived near there. As a kid...with no idea....
Although it does explain why a lot of the kids I met were racist....
That is shocking to see.
the issue is that the people who do actually like him really like him, recently it's gotten to freakishly cult-like levels
The issue as seen from the outside is that
freakishly cult-like levels
are on all sides of this. Jules Verne's description of Americans (that fist fight scene, I think it's "Around the world in 80 days", but I may be wrong) has aged well.
Recently?
Recently in geological terms.
Well yeah recently, if you live under a rock
Fugg is wrong with Alberta?
It's essentially the Texas of Canada.
Texas at least has a somewhat diversified economy, Alberta has a meltdown every time the price of oil drops
So many things.

But at least y'all don't have ~~mice.~~
Edit: aw, rats.
We have mice; well the province does, I don't because I have three cats. We don't have persistent rat colonies though, which is probably what you were thinking of.
