Alberta's an interesting special case. From the US point of view, it only looks conservative because it's compared with other Canadian provinces; by our standards it's similar to Montana or Wyoming, and more liberal than, say, Idaho or Utah. A significant part of the population is descended from US farmers that moved there for cheap land. They also have legitimate grievances against Eastern colonialism, most notably Trudeau's NEP. Rural areas of both AB and BC have (for Canada) significant fundie populations.
