Immediately, one disconnected, misguided politician’s comment is spread across the airwaves and through the Inter- net. Twits tweet, bloggers blog, reporters report. And like clockwork, Canadians from Eastern Canada accuse Alberta of being backward, behind the times, bigoted red-necks. To describe the problem, I turn to the popular phrase from Cool Hand Luke, “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.”

A split It appears to me that there is a split between old Alberta and new Alberta. Old Alberta holds strong to Prairie values and stubborn morals, the foundation of a political culture that has in a way helped shape who we are today. New Alberta is a young, progressive group of individuals sick of being branded as old fashioned. They believe in equal- ity and crave more social support from their government dur- ing a time when we cannot be guaranteed the same success our parents enjoyed. Unfortunately, new Alberta’s policies are still governed by old Alberta’s politicians. Politics are still a popularity contest. The one who gets the most votes wins. Politicians have long observed the power of demographics and have since favoured older voters in rural settings to secure their seats. You know, the ones who will turn up and vote.

Election gap New Alberta, for whatever reason, is hung up on the fact that we are too apathetic to actually vote. Maybe it’s because we have been so brow-beaten by old Alberta for so long we ottawacitizen.com have gotten used to the abuse and don’t know any other way Xenoceratops foremostensis, a newly discovered dinosaur that once lived in Southern Alberta, joins a list to live. of the province’s dinosaurs, which includes some of the human variety.
