The article doesn't explore whether there's any difference between Alberta and elsewhere in Canada, and is presumably focused on Alberta because of the location of the authors.

It would be interesting to know, though, whether regions (no matter where in Canada) which have been long-standing Conservative bastions of power show any difference in rates of activity in these hateful activities.  One would hope not: that Canada's Conservatism has remained more centrist and reasoned than what appears to have taken place in the US and elsewhere.  Hopefully Canadians continue to look at each other with open minds and tolerance, as this preserves our quality of life and safety compared to areas where hatred has been actively kindled.

I've never really pictured Canadians in any significant number embracing white supremacist ideology until the last election, and now Leitch's campaign.  She and now O'Leary seem sadly to aspire to being hatefulness opportunists.
