We have outdoor urinals and porta potties that line our major shopping streets and nightlife areas because rednecks can't seem to figure out how to use the bathroom in the shop or bar.

Our city streets are lined with moderate amounts of trash because residents are too dumb to put their waste in the numerous public garbage cans. Every time someone goes through a tim hortons or a starbucks = another coffee cup thrown out the window of their car.

A large portion of our population are all oilsands/construction workers that find walking around in their dirty work attire 24/7 is the norm.

Our river is extremely polluted, taking a 2min dip will give you a week+ of swimmers rash and who knows what else. (lol no gov control on corporate dumping)

The oil companies up north are currently doing their best to engineer one of the biggest pollution disasters in canadian (human?) history. Which will end up falling to the tax payers to pay for massive multi billion dollar clean up fees. The funny thing is we only get 1.5% of the total profits from the oil sands AND taxpayer money is used to pay for almost all oilsands development and such. It's almost like we paid for a box of 300 cookies, yet only got to eat 1 one them. 3 years ago alberta was debt free, past 2 years we sink more and more into debt, yet the gov claims we are "booming" and more prosperous then ever.

lol redneck conservative gov

The only place anyone foreign might ever want to go in alberta is the rockies, and you might as well consider those to be in British Colombia.

I blame the natives because they are also making the streets dirty by littering themselves on sidewalks covered in newspapers

Just because manure is slightly less foul than petroleum. Still, I'd hesitate to drink the water.

• Alberta was the only province in the British Empire to
“vigorously” implement an eugenics sterilization law (passed
in 1928).
• “Vigorously” = 1929 - 1972, the Alberta Eugenics board
recommended that 4,739 residents be sterilized. 2,832
received the operation*.
• 1972: The sexual sterilzation law was repealed.
• 1995: Eugenics was put on trial in Alberta with case of Leilani
Muir v. the Queen 1996.
