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.

Then they shouldn't elect extremists like TBA and Wildrose.
I don't know how anyone can not be a bit fearful of losing something due to this government, there are no shortage of policy ideas Smith has presented over the past 20 years that take from Albertans, and no indication she doesn't plan to follow through with as many of them as possible.
I don't want our hospitals to function like our labs have become. I don't want to have to worry about if I have enough money in my HSA account to see my doctor, or if I should go to the ER so I don't have to pay. I don't want to have to pay deductibles on medically required surgeries. I don't want to have my Canadian pension turned into an Alberta one. I don't want provincial police running at the direction of the premier to ignore federal law when she doesn't like it. I don't want justice subverted becuase someone cheers for the same anti-science nonsense she does. I don't want my tax dollars going to woo-woo medicine when our health systme is crumbling. And I just can't comprehend how anyone with a brain could support any of this, but here we are.
