Alberta is honestly super nice. Winters aren't that bad once you have the right clothing for them, and summers are beautiful. Sun year round, which is what I love compared to BC. Nature here is equally as good as BC.
The only thing you have to consider is politics. However, despite hating the current government here, I am still much happier compared to BC (since I can actually afford a house)
I have no doubt there's a good chunk of crazies, but we had NDP signs up last election and our neighbour had UCP signs up, but they're still incredibly nice to us.
