This crap is making me angry. Sorry I needed to rent.
I grew up in rural Alberta, and this is absolutely it.
I also think though it's important to point out that many conservatives in Alberta are not Christian nationalists, even though they support Christian nationalism due to outsourcing their decision making. There are lots of those in Alberta that have bought into this "conservative identity" as portrayed by the oil industry, and when presented with Christian nationalism from the onset, it helped fuel the vote split that brought the ANDP into power.
The UCP was corrupt from the onset, but when the TBA bought out the UCP and made Smith the leader, there was concentrated effort from the conservative media in Alberta to paint her as a moderate. A pretence that was quickly dropped after being elected, but I think it adds some nuance to a point I agree with.
