I get so tired of the comment above about how Alberta has so much in common with eg Montana- Montana has virtually no urban life whatsoever and Alberta has two major cities and its population is around 80% urban. I cringe when people say that Alberta has more in common with Montana than with Ontario- that's bull. We do however have more in common with BC and Saskatchewan.

Absolutely agreed about Montana... I love travelling to Montana -- Butte, Glacier, Lewis and Clark Caves, and Yellowstone are all absolutely mind-blowing. But Montana is like visiting some sort of tea party alternate universe. No shared history, no shared culture. Both places have cows and mountains, but you could say that about Vienna, too?
