Re: Alberta

Like the rest of the country even in Alberta the divide is mostly between rural and urban folk, because the lifestyles are inherently different it is easy for The Lucky Pierre and his band of plucky bitcoin accelerationists-looking-to-incite to find pet peeves to exacerbate and point at one another.

For example Alberta will always (🤞 )have the orange island of Edmonton, and (increasingly anyway) Calgary.
N.Nenshi for the NDP!

Rather than being focused on displacement, it features a number of great local makers.

The Georgia Straight has a write up. Recommended!
