I plan on traveling to Canada, but I do have this worry.

To be more specific, I'm not kinda black, my skin's somehow white, but I have black relatives, which means I got wavy hair and some other things.

I mean look at what the government is doing and how most albertans support them. They have the largest emissions per capita in North America.

what the government is doing

Which is?

how most albertans support them.

Let's hear those specifics, I think you'll find that the population's not as supportive of whatever you're imagining they're supporting. And in particular the large cities, which are NDP strongholds.

They have the largest emissions per capita in North America.

This is why you think a tourist wouldn't be safe here? Because we're an oil-producing province?

Better advise OP not to visit Norway either, they must be monsters over there.

The cops don’t carry guns there and the population is more accepting of other people groups.

Norway has the highest market share of evs at 96% so they're cleaning up the mess.

And yet they produce 2 million barrels of oil per day. Must be a bunch of jerks.

Their emissions are still lower than that of Alberta and the wealth is shared with the everyday people ie the oil fund. Though they should reinvest into renewables and heat pumps more.

And for that reason OP isn't "safe" when they visit Alberta, but would be "safe" if they visited Norway? I still have yet to figure out what this connection between the oil industry and personal safety is.
