I love Alberta, but growing up there it is very much a proverbial micro-climate of ideology, life expectations and pace. I didn't really see the juxtaposition until I left for a considerable amount of time. Of course other provinces have their own micro-climates too, but it's very much accentuated back home - partly because of the how loud the province is politically and how proud Albertans can be.
I still love it to pieces though and hope to come back one day. But I agree, I think Canadians should live in other provinces if they have the mobility and freedom to do so. It's a huge country and it's worth experiencing.

I think having a home team government does lead to people over-rating the changes that will happen if you switch governments every once in a while. Sometimes you just need to vote a party out because they are going insane (Trudeau Liberals at the Federal level at pretty much at this point as well with corruption). You can go back to them in 4 years or whatever assuming they get back on track.
But every once in a while - you just need to boot a party out so they get back on track. You could vote in the Greeniest Green Party every elected and they aren't going to crush the Alberta O&G industry in 4 years.
