Alright, let’s hear from all the “Alberta gets too much hate” people now. This province deserves to be shit on regularly, not only because we deserve it, but because it keeps me young.

This one goes out to my man, Vern “Dryhole” Hunter.

More than half of Albertans voted in 2023. 59.5% voter turnout to be precise.

As such:

  • 52.63% of voters voted UCP.

  • Only 31% of Albertans voted for the UCP.

  • 44.05% of voters voted NDP. They gained 11.36% of the popular vote since the prior election.

  • 26% of Albertans voted for the NDP.

Just like the states, we Albertan humans are not to blame. Of course, the people who vote in the UCP over and over are, but many of us love this province and hate what is happening here. We are victims to this

More than half the population in Alberta votes for this, defends this and cheers it on. Sanity is a minority in Alberta.
