MODERATORS
Thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate your contribution to the discussion.
I think our experiences of politics in our respective countries are pretty similar. I live in the only US state that borders Alberta. Our state politics are much less MAGA like than the national politics, there's a certain amount of disdain for DC here no matter who is in charge there, but discourse has still been dominated by conservatives of late. They do have trouble getting all of the national party's talking points to fully take root with many here though.
I don't mean to pivot to discussing the US. I just brought it up as a way to say that I think I understand your description of the situation in Alberta. I hope you guys continue to have better luck keeping the crazy at bay than we have. I watched Carney's speech in Davos and I thought he laid out a solid vision of a path forward for Canada. Do you think it was well received in Alberta?
It was well received, by AB standards. The provincial government didn't bash it (and considering it's thier ONLY tool, they understood it was well recieved and it was off-limits). A few old conservatives came out of the woodwork to say "put down your personal political views for a minute and watch the speech", which was essentially an endorsement.
The west is bound to begrudge the east because of lack of representation/voice. East coast politics rule both our countries even though we are both coast to coast. Population density factors in to it certainly but nearness to the body politic has a role there too.
