allison: well alberta is basically the texas of canada (no offense to any texans, I'm not calling you hicks). Its by far the most conservative province out there, lots of oil wealth, and calgary is the economic centre. The city is alright, but kind of devoid of arts and culture, and it has a real ranching/cowboy history, and every year this big rodeo and festival is held called the calgary stampede, everyone in the city kind of embraces the whole "western" thing.

Definitely true. I think Saskatchewan is pretty conservative as well but Alberta takes the cake here. Very conservative. The Conservative Party has been in power there since (I think) 1971.
