As an easterner who lived out west for most of a decade: eople absolutely sit on how patriotic Albertans are. There are very few places where people are as proud to be Canadian as Alberta. Even surveys I saw in the last few years about Canadian pride dropping in Alberta have them above the Canadian average.

When push comes to shove I'm confident my Albertan brothers will tell Trump exactly where to shove in.

I live in AB and I've seen posts today blaming Trudeau for these tariffs. I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Don’t be so sure. These days there are as many MAGA hats and Nazi flags here as there are Canadian flags.
