    1. „Alberta is open“ very quickly turned into „Alberta is closed. Go away.“

      Doesn’t quite seem like the “hell on earth” redditors have been selling me lately !

    3. If it was the country’s most popular province it would be the most populous.

      It has a reasonably priced housing and a decent job market, which is why it attracts people.

      Most popular province to live in on a temporary basis it sounds like.

      I don’t know if I’d put out a press release for that.

      It’s the most affordable for least shitty. It’s the zen diagram province of those two.

      As someone who moved from NW Ontario to Alberta 15 years ago, just don’t, Alberta wasn’t worth it during the boom and it definitely is not now. I can’t wait to move back

      Where did they migrate to 6 months later when they got tired of their car getting broken into constantly.

      Nothing new. Grew up in Red Deer in the ’70s. Half the people I went to school with (or their parents) were from Saskatchewan with a sprinkling from Manitoba.

      We were really against my parents buying another property all the way in Alberta (we’re from ON), but it’s gorgeous, cheap (relatively), private, and not really too far away from anything. For what they would’ve paid for a luxury condo or cottage, it’s no comparison.

      It’s a battle between the kids to decide whose family gets to spend time there throughout the year 😅.

    10. I love Calgary.

      The winters are cold, but they’re sunny, and if you ski the best mountains in the world are an hour away. Summers are great, stampede is super fun.

      Calgary also has decent wages and reasonable housing costs, which is why it’s the youngest province in the country.

      I’m from Ontario and live in Toronto, but we could stand to take a page from Alberta/Calgary’s book and not spend 90% of our time catering to fucking geriatric boomers who will be dead in ten years and don’t give a fuck what happens to this country once they’re gone.

      Bertaaaaaa! Wait till they get a whiff of our recessions. Buckle up babies! This place is awesome

      So if they separate, they won’t mind giving up their Canadian passports.

      I admit, I think Alberta is beautiful. Still wouldn’t consider it atm, maybe in 30-40 years, I have responsibilities right now.

      Honest question: during economic busts, does it also empty out the province ?

    16. izzybumboon on

      They aren’t sending their best and brightest though, speaking as one of em.

    17. That can’t be right, I’v been told by r/Canada that Alberta is a hell hole.

    18. Narrow-Courage-7447 on

      And while the UCP campaigned for the population growth to happen, and incentivized it, they were simultaneously gutting the health and educations budgets.

    19. Makes me think of that Stan Rogers song, Free in the Harbour.

      *Now they’re Calgary roughnecks from Hermitage Bay…*

    20. Moved from BC (Lower mainland) to Alberta (Calgary) a week ago.

      Above all else, I want to own a detached home with a yard and I also refuse to believe a house should cost your life savings or be an investment vehicle.

      Fairly or unfairly, I think there’s some aspect of the grass is always greener. Growing up in BC, I was consciously aware of how things have changed since my childhood and I found myself getting discouraged at best, bitter at worst. Here I am in the beltline of Calgary going to a McDonald’s the other day and there’s piss on the floor and 2 people hunched over, asses out, and while it’s an eyebrow raising moment I feel like I let it go easier than I would in a BC equivalent.

    21. Despite what the liberals HIVEMIND wants you to believe, alberta is not hell on earth and is an refuge from liberalism for now which is why they hate it
