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

Yup, Alberta just elected someone who has backed a multitude of alternative medicine viewpoints, supports privatization of healthcare, called DeSantis a hero, and has a sketchy at best record on social views (if you actually think her previous statements shouldn't be taken at face value). We also elected a person who called children feces. Pretty much all because the NDP is scary and might take away from oil (which isn't true).
I have the opportunity to move the US but right now it is in States where I wouldn't want to live. Missouri is a lot more right than it was when I lived there 8 years ago. I'd have the same reservations about moving to Alberta.
