This video has a good number of people speaking in the rural Alberta accent. Pay attention to the way they pronounce "farm" and the way a lot of them (but not all of them, as you will see) insert "ah" unstead of "uh" or "uhm" in their pauses.

This video shows the differences between the urban Alberta accent (used by the newscasts) and the rural Alberta accents (from the residents in High River). You'll note how much faster people from the city talk and how we clip our vowels more.
