And yet there are still hundreds of thousands of Albertans who will vote for them no matter what.
In this way, Albertans are a lot like young-Earth creationists. Show them all the evidence in the world, but there is zero chance of changing their minds.
I come from a city that's been represented by four political parties in the past two elections. That's healthy democracy in action. One political party, in (almost) every riding, for a half dozen elections? Hmmm...
As I've said before, Alberta is the deep south of Canada, and their continual support of this party and government is the shame of the nation.
I'm a Flames fan to the core, but I couldn't be prouder of being British Columbian.
