Alberskatchetoba is the center of white rage in Canada. The feel that the majority look down on them as dumb, backwards, intolerant, hateful, racist, bigots and that makes them angry. Their seething resentment at their belief that everyone else thinks they are better than them drives them. For many all that matters anymore is hurting the people that they think think are better than them.
I have a friend who grew up in a northern town in alberskatchetoba. Her family went all in with the tantrumists. They were protecting our rights and they were going to stay in Ottawa until Trudeau was gone and all the mandates were lifted. She tried but ended up cutting off contract with some of her family.
Yes. They voted for successive governments that gave them a pittance while allowing corporations to take billions of dollars of provincial resource wealth out of the province without contributing anything to the eventual cleanup costs. Then, when the wells dry up or demand drops and they abandon the wells the people who received that pittance will pay it back 100 fold to clean up the mess.
But at least the government told them they were spacial that whole time which is all that matters to them. That’s where the white rage comes from. You’re not special because you live in Alberta anymore. You’re not special because you’re “christian” anymore. You’re not special because you’re white anymore. You’re not special because you’re male anymore. You’re not special because you’re straight anymore. You’re not special because you were born here anymore. That leads to aggrieved entitlement which results in seething resentment.
Everybody’s gotta have somebody to look down on
Whom they can be better than at any time they please.
Someone doin’ somethin’ dirty the decent folks can frown on
If you can’t find nobody else then help yourself to me.

I grew up in Saskabush, have lived in Alberta (and BC & Ontario) and currently live in Manitoba.
You’re right on the money with your assessment.

I mean the way Alberta votes and squanders its oil wealth is really dumb

They need to listen to more Kris Kristofferson:
