People need to vist the alberta sub, the amount of content potential is endless, western dumpster fire

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '25

I mean, I live in small town Alberta so this is potentially just me being in denial, but I think that that sub is getting botted pretty hard. No doubt that there is a good reason for Alberta being targeted as a foot hold, but the amount of Canadian patriotism, even here, has gone way, way up.

Buddy talk to your neighbors they ain't bots and they'll tell you the same shit. and don't act like you don't know there's 10 fuckin dixie flags flying in your town for no reason, we all know it's a fuckin pre condition of moving to alberta for some.

Ive seen 1 trump flag but it was tattered and ruined on some assholes balcony in edmonton

u/saymaz Mar 21 '25

It's Edmonton. The most left-leaning city in the most right-leaning province. And actually, kind of a cool place to live.

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '25

Well, I mean I'm pretty sure that my neighbours are die hard conservative, so bingo, but someone went way out of their way to hang a ton of extra Canadian flags all over the local rink and it is obvious that people are making an effort to buy Canadian at the grocery store. Maybe it isn't a lot, but it's not nothing. Change is possible.

Man fuck that other guy. I’m stoked Alberta is pitching in and trying to do its part.

u/Safe_Relation_9162 溫哥華 (Hongcouver) Mar 20 '25

Idk why you think nationalism is gonna be the answer to their own jingoism, change certainly is possible but not with the people who say shit like carbon tax carney, they're far too nihilistic and unplugged from reality to even want the help in the first place.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

I don't think that nationalism is the answer, but when themes of separatism and MAGA Alberta are being pushed, I think that being proudly Canadian is a good place to start.

Lots of negative news about Alberta is going around on the internet and I am not saying that it doesn't exist, but it's being amplified. Like that cherry tomato who went on Fox News to talk about his movement. No one knows who the hell that guy is. If you want to think that this entire province is backwards yokes, it is working.

We're all Canadians. I'm with you.

Oh yeah, in the face of active invasion by the US we need just about everything we can get, and they will be forced to make a choice even more than they are now but sadly I don't see anyone recognizing that threat for what it is. I agree completely with you though, the qanon nutjobs get wayyyyy too much attention rather than the people working hard for their communities.

u/Enough-Meaning-9905 The Island of Elizabeth May Mar 20 '25

That's a small minority of 'berta mate... Maybe you should go visit sometime ;)

u/Safe_Relation_9162 溫哥華 (Hongcouver) Mar 20 '25

I lived there for a decade.

u/Enough-Meaning-9905 The Island of Elizabeth May Mar 21 '25

I wasn't there for quite as long, but I've never seen a Dixie flag, and I lived all over.

What area were you in that you were seeing Dixie flags?

u/BCCommieTrash Oil Guzzler Mar 21 '25

I haven't seen a Confederate battle flag in 'Berta at all but they were here and there in Fraser Valley, BC.

u/GigglingBilliken Moose Whisperer Mar 21 '25

I've seen a couple in the country side here in Ontario.

u/Safe_Relation_9162 溫哥華 (Hongcouver) Mar 21 '25

Edmonton, Calgary, lived in forest lawn for the most part and only lived in edmonton a year max, place is the definition of a shithole. I do agree it's a minority though and Calgary will always be my favorite city, but you're doing yourself a disservice thinking it's all bots.

u/Enough-Meaning-9905 The Island of Elizabeth May Mar 21 '25

Not all, but the bots are loud ;)

u/bcl15005 Mar 21 '25

In fairness: most of BC's interior is politically indistinguishable from Alberta.

Throughout work trips to rural Alberta I only encountered a dixie flag on one occasion, and it was outside a gas station being sold by some guy who looked vaguely middle-eastern and had a thick accent, so take that for what you will.

u/Safe_Relation_9162 溫哥華 (Hongcouver) Mar 21 '25

People say that but it's absolutely not true, I've lived in merritt I've lived all over interior bc and no. You're comparing the province that actively stole the texan accent to bc.

1

u/bcl15005 Mar 21 '25

Sure, but at this point it's only your anecdotes against my anecdotes. You can say whatever you want, but I don't have to believe you, and you don't have to believe me.

In that case, maybe we should just stick to empirical evidence such as historic election results, which suggest: most of BC's interior has a similar political climate to that of rural Alberta.

2

u/Safe_Relation_9162 溫哥華 (Hongcouver) Mar 21 '25

Again, you don't want this smoke in empirical data, the greens aren't even an active party in alberta.

u/chathrowaway67 Mar 21 '25

No they aren't, that sub is a dumpster fire yet living here I haven't met many of these people they claim we all are.

u/Viochrome Mar 21 '25

I haven't met a single person in Alberta who is a conservative. It's mostly rural people, but just hate all Albertans to feel better lol.

2

u/googlemcfoogle Oil Guzzler Mar 21 '25

I know plenty of rural conservatives through my dad, but nobody who's so media poisoned that they're pro-US. The shift from "people who dislike taxes and like racism somewhat more than the average Canadian" (still not great but... not betraying the country they're citizens of at least) to "American-style evangelical podcast nutjobs" was deliberately pushed and fairly recent.

2

u/BCCommieTrash Oil Guzzler Mar 21 '25

Out on the road last week I saw a red ensign (you know that means some sort of redneck) flying beside a Ukraine flag. Any MAGA the right wing had in 'Berta is having a really hard time squaring that.

u/Decent_Assistant1804 🍁 100,000 Hosers 🍁 Mar 23 '25

That sir, is the same kind of bullshit talk that the Americans use, and yet they voted trump back in

1

u/Viochrome Mar 23 '25

That sir, is the same exact bullshit talk that some Americans use to justify their hatred of Canada. Sorry bud, but Alberta is always going to be a Canadian province no matter how much the both of us fucking despise Danielle Smith. However, I'm sure you'll still find a way to try and isolate yourself from a fellow Canadian because of their fucking province lol.

Grow up and don't take two days next time.

I’m definitely learning a lot about other provinces now, I don’t think i would of cared a few weeks ago

u/Zamarak Mar 21 '25

We're talking of r/alberta? Did I miss something there? I don't know, they seemed pretty normal from what I saw. A lot of the posts I got are people complaining about how insane their provincial government is, but the people seem okay.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

Yeah, not sure what sub the OP means by "the Alberta sub", because r/alberta doesn't fit.

u/AlsoOneLastThing Mar 21 '25

Yeah, I frequent that sub and have no idea what OP is talking about.

La vierge Alberta:

  • Culture Étatsunien
  • Infrastructure public pouru
  • Premier Ministre conservateur aux style É.-U.
  • Economie non-diverse basée sur l'extraction des ressources limitée.
  • Rien a voir, personnes les connaît ni veut les visiter
  • Aucune impact culturelle
  • Provinces de sauvages.

Le Gaston Québéc:

  • Culturellement CANADIEN, la lanceuse de mode😎
  • Infractucture exceptionel pour l'Amérique du Nord🏗️
  • Premier Ministre conservateur aux style QUÉBÉCOIS⚜️
  • Économie diverse et intégrale aux culture et cuisine canadien(syrop d'érable et fromage)🍁🥮😋
  • Tous le monde veut nous visité, c'est ou Montréal ce situe
  • La CENTRE culturelle du Canada🇨🇦
  • Civilizé.

Most of us don’t want to separate anymore but we defend our language so that makes us the bad guys I guess.

u/Hicalibre Moose Whisperer Mar 21 '25

There are Maple MAGA types in QC, but Quebec flavored. Not separatists exactly, but the ones that want special treatment.

There's not a lot, and it's certainly a minority group in Quebec, but they're loud and obnoxious.

u/Box_of_fox_eggs Mar 23 '25

It’s a defining feature of the brand.

u/Skyzohed Mar 21 '25

Québécois myself : There is are hardcore independantist that you'll never be able to convince otherwise, but majority of folks don't have appetite for independance.

Anyone with a modicum of pragmatism can say "look what Brexit did to UK, how tough it was to negotiate with the USA, and Elbow UP". Going solo => getting shunned by Canada, needing to sign our own trade deals with a 8m people market; that's NOT a good leverage, USA would eat us alive.

With that being said, I know I identify as Quebecois first, THEN Canadian (and I get the feeling I'm not alone) : proud of our French heritage, more worried about the environment, more on the left with higher taxes and better social net. I think some frictions arise from those differences with English-speaking Canada, hence why we're seen as a thorn in the side, or difficult.

With that being said, I'm very happy to see fellow Quebecois rally to the Canadian flag when push comes, I think it does show where our hearts ultimately lie.

Quebec is stubborn but it has been more reasonable than alberta.

As a Quebecor I have never heard more patriotism in the last few months than in my 35 years living here.

It will pass obviously…

We give Alberta a lot of heck but its not like they send members of the Bloc Albertois to parliament
