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.
Federal, mostly; I know a number of Albertans, and I can understand the sense of complete and utter frustration of each and every federal election. I live in Ontario; the sense that our total votes can't sway the election doesn't exist here :/.
Although, you know, Ralph Klein and his continual winning? That would make me feel like I lived in a different country, post-election, for other reasons.
