I lived in Alberta for a long time. My wife is from there. The oil and gas boom really changed the political landscape. Lots of folks do not understand that happened at all. They just run with the typical Alberta Redneck sentiment. The influx of folks from all over made Alberta a lot less conservative and more open.

It also pushed out some wealthy individuals into BC who now seem to be also affecting that political landscape now that one can only assume they have set their claws in the conservative party of BC.
