Funny thing though Bloated is I'm not Albertan at all. Full on BC'er.
My Motto is,
Fully Liberal in all aspects of life.
Fully Conservative in all aspects of Finance.
Why isn't there a party like this to vote for?
I can't be the only one to think like this.

You're getting pulled in

This place will eat you alive man

It drives me nuts. The production and delivery of oil products, natural gas and electricity in Canada contributes about $170 billion to Canada's $1.8 trillion gross domestic product (GDP), or just under 10%.

Alberta's energy sector contributed just over $71.5 billion to Canada's gross domestic product. Not even half of the $170 billion Canadian oil and gas contribution.

But by some miraculous math Alberta sustains Canada economy... it’s so false it’s frustrating.

Question: So why do people from all around the world come here to work?

Answer: There are good paying jobs here with a chance to advance, and prosper.

Believe me, I much rather be back in BC, my Home, but there is not much in my field of work, and the cost of living is insane in the Lower Mainland.

I’m with you carson as I too am a fiscal conservative that hates social conservatism. But I read about Alberta’s “massive” contributions to Canada and that we should be all grateful to them, it makes my head explode.

It’s the exact same problems they have in the US. Nobody’s factchecking the BS.

Me and my family vacation in southern Alberta all the time. Love it there. In the summer it’s dry, warm and they have dinosaur bones! I have nothing against Alberta.

I just don’t like the Alberta alt-right movement. I’m insulted by it’s stupidity.

And winter that starts in Sept and goes to April.
edit May...

This is the winner for the most ignorant post of the year.
I'm from BC. lived there until I was 40. Lost my job 3 times in 3 years and moved to Alberta. Albertan's are by and large the most accommodating people I have ever met. As I sit in my office up on site at this moment, I'm looking at people from Banglidesh, Kenya, Philippines, Zimbabwe, Newfoundland and Ontario. That's just my office. There are 10's of thousands of people from all over the world here trying to make a decent living.
I make fun of this province all the time (Anus of Alberta) BUT THE PEOPLE HERE ARE AMAZING! NO racial bias at all, just good people doing our jobs.
Alberta keeps most of this country at the status that we all enjoy. I know it kills a lot of people in group to hear that, but it is true. Can we do better with the environment, yes. But believe me this place is changing all the time trying to improve.
I will move back to BC soon (thanks Pyrogenesis stock PYR) because I love the climate, ocean, mountains,my family left behind, etc but don't talk bad about the people here.
Rant over...
