This exactly. I knew Alberta was going solid blue for this election, so my vote wouldn't matter in the slightest in determining the PM. I voted Liberal primarily because they're the closest to where I sit on the political spectrum (even those CBC platform quizzes say so), and secondarily because the more people like me that
don't vote blue, the higher chance this province has of becoming somewhat competitive in federal election and deserving more attention from the east. I mean look at the Harper years, what exactly did he do as PM to directly help Alberta? Not much if anything, and the thing is he didn't have to. He knew Alberta was a lock for his party, so why bother spending time and resources there? The reason Ontario and Quebec get so much attention from Ottawa is because they're the only provinces that routinely change their voting patterns
