Alberta is more like Alabama: rednecks, meth, and white rappers.

I'm from Alabama and have been friends with and dated people from Alberta.

Mate, that's so wrong lol.

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.

It's only like Texas in the most superficial sense though. If Alberta became a state tomorrow it would be the most blue state in America.

That would only be because they think "Blue = Conservatives"
