But the movement of the UCP to the courting of nutty ant-science/Trumpism/DeSantisism/dogwhistle politics supporters has me doubtful of the future, not just for 4 years but for a long long time.

No other UCP/PC leader has threatened health care, education, social services and federalism as much as this one. And Kenney had already gone a long way in that regard.
Wouldn't you wait to see if those things do actually deteriorate before deciding to leave?

Where is your family located?

I feel like there's a lot of reasons people choose to live where they do, but the government in question is usually not really one of them. It's like when Trump won the Presidency, lots of sabre rattling from Americans about moving to Canada, is there any data that there was a large influx of them moving up here when that happened?

Quality of life in Alberta is still extraordinary. Plus, Alberta needs moderates like you to stay, not leave.
