In terms of having the “marrying cousins” stereotype.

      I don’t think Canada has an Alabama. As conservative as they are, Alberta is wealthy, highly educated, and they frequently vote for women and POC. They like “small government”, but also have some of the highest paid government workers in the country. I just don’t see much similarity.

      I think the comparison to Texas is more apt because they’re both conservative petro states with center left suburban sprawl cities.

      I’ve always heard that Alberta is the ‘Texas of Canada’ (presumably for the oil & being politically conservative). But since Canada only has 10 provinces, I guess that would mean each province needs to represent 5 different US states.

      If Alabama and Texas are two of them, what are the other 3 for Alberta?
