The point is, where do you stop? At some point you have to admit that making fun of an individual is just as bad as making fun of a group. Why is making fun of a group worse than making fun of an individual? Who made that rule...

Other provinces call Alberta rednecks & hicks because there are a lot of farmers in Alberta, trust me. You think people in other provinces are more polite than in AB? I think your comment generalizing Albertans is politically incorrect and may offend many. If you want to maintain your stance of being politically correct, you should retract your statement.
