“The crowd was diverse. I saw young white people and old white people. Tall white people and short white people. Many wore Alberta-blue ball caps, draped themselves in Alberta flags and carried independence lawn signs they had purchased at the merchandise tables.”
“The crowd was diverse” … 🤣
As a fan of dry sarcastic wit: Well done!

My understanding of Canadian politics is tenuous at best, but a lot of the article's analysis is applicable to Right Wing ideology in the US as well. Also, this guy is a hoot:
“'Albertans work hard' was the best they could come up with. 'We wake up in the morning,' Rath said at the Big Four. 'We make money. We take care of our kids. Raise our families. Take care of our parents. Live good industrious lives. That’s Alberta culture.' No doubt every society in the world makes this same claim. *For someone who identifies Albertans by their work ethic, Rath seems to have put scant effort into crafting this definition.*"
*emphasis mine
