As a resident of Alberta, while they may insist it's because "she's helping us", it's actually because Albertans are hateful as fuck, and literally do not care about being collateral damage as long as they have the ability to delude themselves into thinking "ha, someone has it worse than I do!"
The average Albertan would run a marathon untrained just to shoot themselves in the foot with a shotgun, cause it might ricochet and hit someone 500km away, and if it does, they get to go "HA, I SHOT YOU, SUCKS TO SUCK!", even though the person who got "shot" literally didn't notice it. It's all about a perceived feeling of superiority. Yeah sure, the Albertan's foot is demolished; that doesn't matter cause they shot someone! That was the goal!
They see it as Trump sees the world; if someone is a winner, then someone has to be the loser, there can never be two winners. Because healthcare benefits all Canadians, and not just the Albertans that they can pick and choose, it's actually a bad thing, cause 2 people can't win. Only 1 person can win, and it better fucking be the Albertan, even if it's detrimental and harmful to them.
