Alberta is one of the best educated provinces in the confederation and Calgary was the first major Canadian city to elect a Muslim mayor. Alberta is an extremely innovative and progressive province regardless of what people think.
The fact that the rest of Canada doesn't recognize that shouldn't stop us from sticking up for Alberta and electing a party that represents the best interest of the province.
What's the other option, close down all oil and gas production, elect the NDP and watch them run the province into the ground? Sounds a lot like more "social license" talk to me and quite frankly it still wouldn't change the minds of many in Eastern Canada and BC.
