    It you’re leaving for progressive reasons, Alberta is north Texas. BC is pretty progressive, although I don’t know how they lean outside of metros. I have my suspicions though.

      Lol the NDP only won by like 20 votes this election so not as progressive as you’d think. Also our NDP is still center left so not that progressive at all.

      Small town and rural BC is very close to Alberta. They got a bulk deal on Fuck Trudeau stickers for their trucks.

      I mean, honestly, that’s true for the entire country.

        True pretty much everywhere. Rural folk dislike the government and prefer to rely on themselves. They’re right wing. City folk do the opposite.

        That pattern is followed almost everywhere, from America to Canada to Australia to Finland.

      Alberta is nothing like Texas. Alberta is largely an atheist population for one thing

        But the Christfuckers we do have are obnoxious and loud enough to make you think otherwise

          Not really. I grew up in rocky mountain house. One of the most conservative ridings in all of canada, and I grew up surrounded by atheism for the most part. It’s way more atheist now compared to then as well
