Yeah. Unless they mean "the exact minute before Justin Trudeau took office", I'm struggling to picture that moment. If you go back past the first Trudeau that people hate, you hit the worker-populist UFA/SoCred era, and the era that fueled it right before. And then that's all the history there is.

100% chance this imaginary version of Alberta is also devoid of old but now unfashionable bits of Prairie life, and saturated with red American lifestyle imports, instead.
