Why do we allow politicians to drive wedges between us? Why do we listen when they try to convince us cities are the enemy of rural communities, and vice versa? It's a divisive-yet-effective political strategy in countries like Canada and the USA. Is this the new normal?
2:20 | Dr. Kathy Cramer is an internationally-renowned expert on the urban-rural political divide. The University of Wisconsin-Madison poli sci prof explains what Alberta and the United States have in common.

The fact is that the rural religious right in Canada is not that different from the USA. I have travelled a LOT of it in Alberta, Saskatchewan and northern BC and seen for myself the confederate flags, gadsden flags, and signs calling for Trudeau's assassination. This is more than conflicting interests. This is driven by hatred of non-whites and non-Christians that is ingrained deeply in such a large proportion of rural people that the average Canadian would be absolutely shocked. I've been to parts of Alberta that you would swear were Mississippi or Alabama. Now tied even tighter by the fact that these people can reinforce one another and validate one another on social media.

yeah out by Wainwright AB, I ended up in a car chase on the highway for about an hour, unprovoked. Never found out why but there were reports of an identical looking vehicle (to the one that pursued me) in the same area and time period, owned by aryan gang members who'd been breaking/entering and committing assaults on farms. Told a prof about it and he had stories about running into those psychos in the same part of rural Alberta

I am a rancher and old. I see that the government policies favour the large operators and investment firms that buy out the smaller and kill local communities. Also why is the governments not incenticising companies to move to the smaller communities where housing is cheaper and their is a motivated work force; not all the young people want to leave. Another point I am sick and tired of being told how to think and what to say; I use equal vulgar terms for all wates of skin no matter what colour they are.

@RealTalkRJ День назад

You're right about smaller communities. What's the incentive (or opportunity) for young, independent operators to get into a career in Ag, for example? -rpj

In Alberta, democracy is skewed. Rural ridings have more clout than urban ridings do. Also, the Conservatives haven't helped rural Albertans since the 1990s, and these rural Albertans continue vote for them. Land rights are trampled upon, healthcare access is compromised, abandoned oil wells on farmer's property isn't being dealt with, open pit coal mining in the Rockies is being pursued, despite much opposition, and so on. Since the UCP aren't helping rural Albertans, let alone urban Albertans, maybe rural Albertans will wake up and stop supporting them. I'm originally from a very large farm in Alberta, and I've seen how things have changed.

I still own a large farm in northern Alberta and UCP all the way for this guy. 4 years of NDP bull💩 was enough for me!!!

I’m a rural Albertan and the conservatives have allowed us to prosper on our own. I’ve never felt a boot on my neck like I did with the NDP.

No, those wedges ALREADY exist and are largely enlarged by the electoral and representational system. They are VERY different constituencies. Rural areas have been GUTTED by trade policies that favour cities. And now are being EMPTIED by other policies. WHat makes more sense is that BOTH have constituencies that are ultimately screwed over by politicians and their funders. But thats a different story.

You could look at the UCP, who blew money on one sided panels and committees, which are stacked with their Conservative friends, hired 20, or more of their Conservative friends for pointless positions, which pay in between $100,000 per year to $250,000 per year, hired many more staff for their MLAs, at a great cost to Albertans, including Danielle Smith's staff of 34, and created the largest provincial cabinet in Alberta's history, with 34 cabinet ministers and associate ministers. The UCP lost around $8 billion to $10 billion, from 2 rounds of corporate tax cuts, which didn't produce a single new hire. So much for that.
