I don't believe it.

I know the questions are deliberately worded to be ambiguous and leading, but every single one is clearly a racist dogwhistle. For all of the redneck shitheads emboldened by our government of bigots and traitors, I don't think the majority of Albertans are that bad.

Guess we'll see.

    Alberta is difficult to underestimate.

    The last Federal election was about sovereignty. 92% of Alberta ridings elected a pro MAGA party.

    There's definitely a divide between Edmonton (at least the city center & university area & few other ridings) and the rest of Alberta, which is unfortunate. Edmonton has genuinely good urban policies but the you see pee is making it harder to live here every day...

    Even the smaller cities have good people in them, but they mostly have these rural-urban mixed ridings to make them appear to ride or die conservative.

    I think that alternate mapping that was recently proposed had a ton of them.
