Complaining that Albertans won't vote against their own interests is pretty dumb.

Seriously? You believe that for all Albertans (regardless of income, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, education, political beliefs, etc), the Conservative's policies and practices are in their interests and those of the Liberals and the NDP are against their interests?
I will grant you that the percentage of people that benefit from the Conservative's economic policies may be higher in Alberta than the rest of Canada, but that isn't enough to explain the voting practices here. Albertans vote Conservative because Albertans vote Conservative, often against their own interests.
