Cowboys, nodding oil pumpjacks on the prairie landscape, conservative politics — you could fill a Ford F-150 pickup truck with stereotypes about Alberta.

But a new national poll suggests Canadians’ views of Alberta are a lot more complex than the clichés.

The survey of 1,500 people suggests many Canadians think Alberta is a good place to raise a family or for a young person to pursue a career. But only half of Canadians who reside outside the province say they’d actually feel comfortable living in Alberta. And a slight majority of those same Canadians (53 per cent) don’t think Albertans care enough about climate change.
