I'm not Canadian. I studied in Canada before moving back to my home country.
But I genuinely love this country and I want to see Canada thrive.
How can I say this without offending anyone...? I'm about to ruffle some feathers.
Every single political news that seems to come out of Alberta makes me think "Wow !! These folks seem the most ignorant in Canada"
Your Premier Danielle Smith attended a party with Tucker Carlson.
This is the same guy who said angry Ottawa truckers should "find Trudeau" and "deal with him". He wasn't joking. He said that again and again.
Is this really what you want? A bunch of angry guys lynching the Prime Minister? Let's say it actually happens. They storm his house and beat him up. Then what? What exactly happens next...?
How can any self-respecting Canadian Premier attend an event with a man who made these statements?

She was once a newspaper columnist and published articles defending tobacco companies.
For instance, she attacked the World Health Organization and claimed smoking wasn't actually very harmful. She accused scientists of being "corrupt" (lol) and she quoted a tobacco industry lobbyist named Gio Batta Gorri:
How did this such dishonest weasel become Head of Government?
Now, she introduce a bill that will allow corporations to wire money to Alberta parties:

How exactly would that improve the life of ordinary people?? And why are so many members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly going along with this plan?!
These stupid politicians didn't fall from the sky. They all got elected 🤦
I don't know why this is happening. It's so sad.
She was from the extremist party which conservatives merged all right leaning parties they could to keep Alberta oil and gas proud and run by rich elite in the USA.
Also conservatives keep having investigations over corrupt internal politics and cheating for leadership within; and they keep firing anyone who probes.
Much of Alberta is polar opposite but rural and oil and gas peons keep pushing for their own demise without understanding or intentional hatred.
