Disagree.
Alberta is 2 years removed from an NDP government. UCP received 55% of the popular vote.
Using Trump support as a metric is not reasonable. An average Alberta is likely not well informed on the entirety of Trumps politic, nor are they wholly effected by it. As an example, if a rural Alberta here’s that Trump supports pipelines, they may be less included to ‘oppose’ Trump. This is not a valid indicator of the persons sociopolitical position. And even if it were, considering Trumps perceived friendliness to O+G Development, 32% support would indicate a majority of Albertans are not extremely right wing.
Alberta may be lean right, no doubt. Insanely? Hardly.
I agree the UCP have the ability to be ruinous for our province, but it’s not because Albertans are insane.
