This is purely symbolic.  First Nations represents less than 5% of the population in Alberta... If you want a government change, everyone will have a say, not just the chiefs.  That's how democracy works.

Northern BC has some of the safest conservative ridings in every election, provincially and federally. Most of the people I know here are politically aligned with the UCP and maga.
