Also can people stop lumping shit together and saying “Western Canada”? BC isn’t this stupid.

Except for the Albertans who move there and create conservative voting areas.

Stupid southern American here:

So Alberta = Alabama with snow?

Closer to Texas. Lots of oil money.

Presumably a lot fewer heavily armed bigots chomping at the bit for a civil war, though.

Back in university, my friends and I played this game called “Alberta or Kentucky,” where we send each other images had to guess…well, whether they were from Alberta or Kentucky. (Eventually this became more like “American or not.”) My favourite one was an image of a shirtless man standing in front of a trailer with a rifle in each hand and a Confederate flag painted on his chest. IIRC he was from Quebec.

Alberta is like Montana but with Texas oil money.

You should visit if you get a chance, its beautiful and does the American West better than the American West.

Closer to Texas, we have oil and cows and farms mostly.

Any time I've brought this up, someone points out that northern bc might just be that stupid. So now I point it out.
