No, I would not. Be careful with generalizations as they include all the people most negatively effected by the policies of the region. Criticizing "Alberta"? Completely fair. Criticizing all "Albertans", people who didn't choose to be born here, to have their families here? Very different, and a cohesion/division fallacy if you give it more than a passing thought.

Saying that every person here is evil or stupid because of the choices of a government, ignoring those who voted against the government and then rolling the moral standing of both groups in with each other is an awful thing to do.
