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.

Specifically I was referring to the last round between Smith and Kenny. If you didn’t leave after Kenny but now are leaving because of Smith which was a contention in the last few weeks of this thread that makes no sense. Also if you say people are leaving because of Kenny while Covid is also occurring I question the ability to parse out causality.
But I do agree if Smith is elected again you will see people leave and I think you will be able to attribute that to Smith. I don’t think you will see many disagree with you on that point.
