Calgary blogger, Mike Morrison started the hashtag after reading Jean’s piece, but he said it’s something he’s been thinking about for a while.
“It tends to be the conservative leaning politicians who start every press release, every comment with “Albertans are angry, Albertans are furious” and you know, I’m an Albertan and I’m not angry and I’m not furious and I wanted to put that out there and sort of just say it’s okay to not be angry, not be furious,” said Morrison.
The hashtag has caught on, to Morrison’s surprise.
“They’re really incredible stories, like I keep clicking on it to hear from different Albertans, some from oil and gas, some from different political parties. These are Albertans, these are the stories I want to hear more as a fellow Albertan,” said Morrison.
If you are angry or furious with the state of the province, Morrison suggests looking through the hashtag.
