Are you referring to provincial or federal elections here? Because I can assure you that every time there's a federal election most Albertans feel alienated and, though they might not voice it, disenfranchised. Our votes are essentially meaningless with the election being decided east of Manitoba. So yes, after every federal election I wake up feeling that I live in a different country.
We're going through the quietest provincial election I've ever seen right now. King Ralph will win, of course. My hope is that he will at least be surprised with a larger opposition.
