Most Albertans I know don't think of themselves as Canadians anyway.
This is off-topic, but the one friend I've made here is from Calgary. She's the only person I've met who doesn't hate George Bush and who understands how aggravating it is to be subjected to anti-Americanism in the news media up here.
I have friends in BC who are very pro-American...
Excuse me?
