The reason a person enters politics in Alberta is to punish women, the poor, immigrants, minorities of all sorts, and anyone whose sexuality falls outside of missionary position once a week between a legally-married male and female couple. Another reason to enter politics in Alberta is to make sure there are vast, toxic tailings ponds to exterminate whatever wildlife hasn’t been dipped in crude oil and asphyxiated. The way you get a nomination from a party in Alberta is to be a white, wealthy, racist, sexist homophobe in a big cowboy hat. Reeling up to a homeless shelter drunk as a lord and screaming “GET A JOB!” while pitching pennies at the residents has traditionally been a good way to win elections in Alberta.
