The political right in Alberta should be careful what they wish for, because they just might get it.

Is there anything indicating the political demographics of those migrating from Ontario and BC to Alberta? Wouldn't it be more likely that conservatives who feel out of place are the ones moving here? There are most certainly conservatives in Ontario and BC.
