If this guy was in the United States, he'd be a MAGA Republican and spouting similar U.S.-focused conspiracy theories.
We have those people here too, complete with the US focused conspiracy theories. There's a weird amount of Canadian Conservatives who think they're American
Do they rant and rave against Canada's universal health care system while using it?
Actually, the premiere of Alberta is trying to privatize the province’s healthcare. Just look up pretty much any Danielle Smith speech on health care, it is insane what she is attempting. I have come to the conclusion that Alberta is the Texas of Canada. They love the oil industry, hate the government, want to privatize everything, and even have their own half-hearted secession movement.
For that matter, Alberta even toyed with replacing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with their own local provincial police. I am American so I don’t entirely understand the situation, but it sounds about like if Texas decided to kick out the FBI and have the Texas Rangers take over FBI duties within the state.
