It's tiring to constantly read this kind of garbage where it's always Albertans that don't give a crap, and are the worst polluters in Canada. I bet there are less Albertans working in the Oilsands than BCers, Newfs, other Maritimers, and Ontarians. Meanwhile, a good portion of the construction industry is from Quebec.
So how exactly is it that Albertans are the polluters and the rednecks, when a huge chunk of our population are recent transplants here to get rich quick? Next time you see one of Alberta's famous "jacked up F-350s with a white sunglasses and affliction shirt wearing driver", check the license plate. Half of them are from BC or Sask, or NS.
As for the BS "Alberta" comment in the OP, with an ignorant attitude like that, I'm glad you're no longer an Albertan, and a Flames fan.
