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. 
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.
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.
But #Alberta is a welcoming place. It has skies to match any and every dream and ambition of those who are willing to work hard. This is a great place to raise families, breathe clean air, develop and grow a business. All are welcome to share in its gifts.
Some, disappointed about last night's #AB election results, threaten to leave. Some are threatening never to come.
We're okay with people making their own choices. It's what mature citizens do. And those who leave #Alberta are always welcome to return. That's how freedom works.
