I think one only has to look at the arrogance and general as$hattery of the posters saying you lost, get over it, leave or don't let the door hit you on the way out and realize it's not just the election loss that makes people contemplate moving. It's also their supporters that that think this is proper behavior and actually act this way in real life. If you feel a large number of people are like this in your community and you can feel the hatred getting to you, why would you continue putting up with it? I'm surrounded by it at work, and that makes me contemplate changing jobs, so why can't the same reality apply to where you live? One can only put up for so long hearing "Notley should be shot" and other misdirected complaints about things that don't even effect them. UCP supporters no longer feel they need a filter, and it shows. The hatred and divisiveness that I'm surrounded by has changed me in a negative way and it's time to escape it. I can't imagine what someone with young children is thinking. Actually, I do, I have a friend with a newborn and last year was already starting to make career plans for a transfer. No one is leaving because of results from this election, they are leaving because Alberta as they knew it is gone, the people are different, and there doesn't appear to be any drive to turn it around. Which is funny, because UCP think's that is exactly what they are doing.
