Hmmmm, NAH.
Duffman was just fine. He was at or faster that the vehicle on his left. There is no scenario where it's appropriate for the vehicle on his left to have sped up, gone in front of him, and immediately slowed down on an empty stretch of rural highway. It's ignorant.
"Keep right except to pass" is not a law in Alberta (nor one in Canada, I believe). There is only "Slower vehicles keep right" which suggests that vehicles moving slower than the speed limit or natural flow of traffic should stay to the right. Duffman was neither of these things.
All of you folks need to understand: "keep right except to pass" is not a rule nor is it required unless clearly marked on Alberta roads. Duffman did absolutely nothing wrong.
