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.
It's not the government, though. It's the ideology of the majority in this province. It's not the election, its the views that people actually vote for.

Danielle Smith could die tomorrow, but UCP would just appoint some other wingbat to take over and 53% of the province would vote for that person.

It's not one election. It's the changing tides of political discourse in the western world, unfortunately. Some provinces have just done a better job at holding back the tide
