As someone who is centre-left, I care about my fellow humans no matter what political leanings they have. I actually want to collectively make the city/province/country I live in better. I want social programs, healthcare and education that everyone benefits from, INCLUDING "right wingers".
Conservatives, who demonize certain groups or constantly throw out the "leave if you don't like it" nonsense really only have one thing in mind, and that's their own individual selfish desires. Then they try to weaponize their votes to "own the libs" or hurt certain members of society for no particular reason (that I can see, anyway) and for what? An ego stroke? It comes across as a group of mouth breathers so intent on punishing certain left leaning groups that they are literally cutting off their nose to spite their face, and high five each other while doing it.
If you think like this, you have totally lost the plot IMO because THAT is what is holding up progression here.

But this is Alberta it is what it is. Truly if you don’t like it why not leave?
Why does it need to change to your “values” ?
