Canadians continue to be ‘Alberta bound’ by the tens of thousands
Canadians continue to be ‘Alberta bound’ by the tens of thousands
Tens of thousands of Canadians were "Alberta bound" as they searched for a more affordable place to live amongst higher interest rates and home prices.

I would, except the only draw Alberta has is housing prices, there's literally nothing else. I feel like I'd be happier simply moving north towards the BC interior.
Culturally, the BC interior and Alberta look pretty damn similar (the interior of BC is surprisingly conservative), but Alberta actually has jobs.
Oh yeah, BC Interior has a lot of scary crazy assholes. They're sleeper rednecks no one seems to talk about when describing Canadian redneckery, maybe because everyone is distracted by the culture of LML and Vancouver, and it's easy to pick on Alberta. In my experience they're much worse than the average Albertan.
Let's be fair: there are some really nice mountains, lakes, etc. in Alberta.
That's a boundary error -- they're all next to BC
Not if you're coming from BC it doesn't.
Both provinces can have amazing nature, it’s not a competition.
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)
Can't beat the ocean though. Or the lack of right wing nutjobs.
I take it you haven't been to Kamloops? (Remember the OP was talking about moving to the interior, not staying on the coast where it's unsustainably expensive).
