I have lived in the small town of New Sarepta for about 3 years. I found the town to be a wonderful place to live. Friendly, talkative people and such. Edmonton... not so much. I do want to comment on one thing though.
I know the rest of Canada is not really keen on use Albertans they just think were a bunch of stupid, conservative rednecks
I think this is a total misconception that you guys created yourselves. I've lived in Ontario for 22 years and have traveled much of the country, I've been everywhere excluding Newfoundland, PEI and the Northern Territories. I've very rarely heard anyone talk about you guys in a negative way, even when engaged in a conversation about Alblerta in general. I think its smiler to the misconception that Canadians as a whole are different from the US. There really not. I've been to alot of the stats and you guys are just like us. Just thought I'd say that. Now lets not turn this into an argument.
But Alberta is pretty good. The Mountains and foothills are epic! I never really understood the whole "offroad truck thing though"
Rock on!
