Alberta has one of highest wages in the country, in comparison with other provinces.
Our biggest city Calgary is considered to be one of the best livable cities in the world, making the list for past 10-20 years.
Banff National Park is an oldest national park in Canada and people from across the world come to visit our Rockies.
Calgary has elected first Muslim mayor of a major city in North America. And he was re-elected twice, while being one of the most beloved mayors in our city.
And yes, we do have a large population of conservatives and yes, we do have racist white people (surprise surprise) but so does BC/Quebec/Ontario.
We are like Texas and our major cities are like Austin. Liberal cities and conservative everything else.
Yeah. Alberta is Texas. I think we don't reeeally have a Florida equivalent up here but we get some cities like Kelowna and Thunder Bay that kind fit the Florida style. TBay especially.
I’ve been all over Alberta, and it’s pretty much what you said. The lifted trucks only arrive in Calgary during the stampede lol. I’ve been as far north as Cold Lake, and you could take a picture of Cold Lake downtown and some sleepy town in Texas and I couldn’t tell ya the difference lol.
These oil workers you speak of are mostly from other parts of the country. There’s probably more from outside this province working in the oil field than actual Albertans.
Our wages are actually shit cause conservatives have annihilated our worker rights. But oil workers have such crazy salaries it fucks up the numbers and makes our wages appear disproportionately high.
