    Oh buddy I moved to AB from SK lmao. Yeah people are generally nice, just clueless when it comes to politics. I have a trans/gay friend who voted for Sask Party a couple years ago and when they told me I was like wtf. Worse yet it came out that their specific representative was very homophobic and transphobic…

    Before this person had voted.

    I think some level of research should be essential before you vote, but there’s no way to enforce that. So I urge everybody I know to research before they vote so that they can make an informed decision.

      I very much agree. Many people do little to no research on the candidates running prior to voting and just pick their favourite colour.
