Coming from the neighbouring SK dumpster fire, I think it helps to remember that most people aren’t defined by their political stance. While there are a few who definitely are, which only helps us to know who to avoid, most people can still be good neighbours and friends while our governments prefer to run our provinces into the ground.
Oh buddy I moved to AB from SK lmao. Yeah people are generally nice, just clueless when it comes to politics. I have a trans/gay friend who voted for Sask Party a couple years ago and when they told me I was like wtf. Worse yet it came out that their specific representative was very homophobic and transphobic…
Before this person had voted.
I think some level of research should be essential before you vote, but there’s no way to enforce that. So I urge everybody I know to research before they vote so that they can make an informed decision.

I very much agree. Many people do little to no research on the candidates running prior to voting and just pick their favourite colour.
Yeah, but they do it because it gets them votes from said friends and neighbors. Too bad the only other stable government system is even worse.
