I'm an "ethnic" immigrant with an earned Canadian doctoral degree. But I identify as a "redneck" #Albertan. No one forces me to live in #Alberta. I'm here by choice, I came here by choice. Have left and returned by choice, and I choose to stay. This place will always be my home. Image
This is a land where we value freedom. It's our motto: strong and free. And #Alberta just returned a libertarian to be its premier. Some of you may not like it, but no one will run you out like I was run out of my native land by armed communist thugs. Not here. Image
People on AB are free to come and go, which is why we hated lockdowns and tossed out a premier when he insisted on more restrictions. That said, a portion of us loved the restrictions. We're not a political monolith. We're a free, vibrant society with diverse views.

Dispatches from the Prairies
A thread
1/ The fastest growing Black population in Canada is in the Prairies, where it has more than quadrupled in size over 20 years.
#BlackLivesMatter #skpoli #canpoli
2/ The most recent numbers from Statistics Canada date from 2016. In that period, the Black population on the Prairies jumped from 39,955 in 1996 to 174,655 in 2016.
Obviously, that’s 4 years ago. Can’t wait for updated data from @StatCan_eng

3/ The #Albertan Black population grew fivefold between 1996 and 2016, while #Manitoba’s Black population has almost tripled in size and the Black population in Saskatchewan has more than tripled in the same period of time. #canpoli #abpoli #skpoli #mbpoli
