I think there's a mischaracterization there (although unintentional).

Pre-Trudeau, Alberta was Pro-Conservative. Liberal candidates were still often elected. This all changed after Trudeau, at which point Alberta became staunchly anti-Liberal.

Personally, I think the "I live in Alberta and therefore only vote Conservative" mindset is beyond silly. They aren't even the same party that some us previously voted for.....and certainly not the same party that our parents supported.
