I've heard that quote before, and there is a bit of truth to that. I personally don't think that Alberta is more liberal than California or New York, but I understand where you are coming from. However, I would counter that argument with the argument that "liberal vs. conservative" is not the only way to gauge the character of a person. It is a very political way of gauging what a person is like, and it's definitely the less political ways that we are similar - more similar, I would suggest, than almost any two other nations on the planet. There are a lot of Canadians that claim we are very different from Americans, then stop by the McDonald's drive through on their way home to watch the latest episode of Heroes.
