some commentators here are hating on Albertans. Not all are. I understand it's a sensitive issue, but try not to generalize large populations.
Some of the commenters here suck. Some are amazing. And there's everything in between.
I am sorry you've had a bad experience, but I can tell you that I do not judge Albertans or reduce them to a single group. Hell, I have family in Alberta, and almost half of them are pretty OK.
Also consider a lot of online comments are bots designed to make people angry. Even on this site, though I don't think it's as bad here as some other places.
