While I would love to join into the hyperbole about people leaving Alberta in droves, it simply isn't reality. For every Ozy_Flame that leaves to Ontario and claims greener pasture in Ontario, there are 2 immigrating into Alberta. The grass is always greener on the other side. Sometimes it is, sometimes we fool ourselves in thinking it is.
We can look back at these numbers 4 years from and point to Smith's impact (and believe me I do think she will be a disaster), but much like Trudeau, in the grand scheme of things, despite our outrages, politics really doesn't impact day to day life that much. Ironically, in the Ontario subreddit all they do is complain about Ford day in and day out and how he's destroying the province, yet he just recently got voted back in. Social forums tend to be echo chamber on who can be the loudest in order to validate each other.
I mean literally I am reading the subreddit on Ontario right now:
Those aren't cherry picked, these were all in a row at the top, the next few are about Doug Ford and insurance rates
being low about having to pay your own repair bill (lol)
Macroeconomics and quality of life tend to have a higher impact on migration than politics.
