Probably a fairly liberal MA governor, elected in an off-year, Republican-wave election in which young Americans don't vote.
But it just goes to show, you can't be so sure that Alberta is as right-wing as North Dakota or Kansas.

They probably have a reason for it. Might even be political.
They would have good reason to shut it down (yes). And I even think the new liberal governor wanted that. Apparently the national leadership still thinks money is more important than the environment.
So, no liberal fantasy land there. They murdered minks too for a while. It's just better than the red USA, that's all. No immigration frenzy, no aversion to national health care, no militarism, no religious right, willingness to support alt energy, etc.
