Horgan has also asked people to avoid non-essential travel over the BC/Alberta border, hasn't he? I don't think BC is yet at a point where they want to in any way encourage tourism.
And yet, Albertans who want to go to BC for a vacation are mad? I get the low-risk threat of being harassed in BC is annoying, but if you shouldn't be there in the first place if you're going on a vacation. Horgan's comments have shifted my thoughts from "I'm not going to BC" to "I'm definitely not going to BC." To be fair, his message to residents was to consider the fact that they don't know someone's travel intent just based on out of province plates, but I don't really think Horgan minds Alberta vacationers feeling unwelcome. We are unwelcome. Why are we going there?
