I guess I just don't understand this; just because you think a specific reason to leave is 'stupid', doesn't mean others do. AFireInside and Ozy_Flame both know people who have left during the UCP government's run. So do I. Real people, leaving.
Crappy politics and an observation of poor provincial direction going forward are legit reasons to leave - if Smith gets into power for four more years after May, it's even more legit reason for some people to bounce (if the UCP's extremely poor performance wasn't a good reason already). As a professional in a universal (non-Alberta locked) industry myself, I will seriously consider leaving if a Smith-run UCP does win next year. I am born here but definitely not bound here. Love Alberta, but life is extremely short and it's big world out there with many fantastic opportunities. The rest of the world isn't a boogeyman compared to Alberta, lol.
