There are so many awesome people in Alberta of various political stripes, but successive Alberta administrations have decided that their perceived provincial problems are generational and chronically ignored, even though Alberta has rose to become of the best places in the country - no, world - to live a healthy, wealthy, peaceful life.
Then in the last 10 years, as society progressed on modern issues, the gaps that remained in the conservative roots in the province continue to expose themselves as being unable to move forward. I mean, a generation ago would that essay contest be such a hot topic issue in Alberta? Probably not, but in 2022 that sort of stuff gets chuffed. Jason Kenney can't just wave it away as a "slow news week". that #### gets called out.
Heck, listen to Allison Redford's latest podcast appearance. She described an atmosphere as anti-feminist, racist, and homophobic. And her term was just under 10 years ago.
It also doesn't help that extreme fringes and their ridiculous political ideas are getting mainstream attention, multiple platforms to shout nonsense, and pom-pom waving politicians trying to play both sides to do all the cringy fringy things.
