Dear tumblr friends, a momentous thing has occurred which you may not be aware of.

The Province of Alberta has officially ushered in its first non-conservative government in 44 years, and it’s first New Democratic Party (NDP) government in history, dramatically shifting the Canadian political landscape.

Previously believed to be a stalwart right-wing conservative province, Alberta has, overnight, changed allegiances to the most viable left-wing political party on the horizon, with a stunning majority.

This is huge. This is a massive turnabout. This is Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas all voting democrat.

This is the start of some big, big changes. It’s an exciting day. The National Post called it a ‘Miracle on the Prairies’, and I’m inclined to agree.
