Haha how come alberta is a prairie province? because there is mountains and hills an no flat land! WTF?

Question

alberta is NOT the prairies! and should never be considered, just Manitoba and Saskatchewan, they are all about farming and ranching haha!

Answer 1

No flat land?  I take it you've never been there.

Answer 2

I guess you haven't been to Alberta, or seen a few photos of it, or even looked at a map of it.

Answer 3

So, I take it you have never been east of Calgary because I have and it's pretty flat. Alberta grows the same kinds of crops that are grown in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Answer 4

Please go look at a biome map of Canada and you'll see there's loads of forest and plains in all the prairie provinces.

Answer 5

I'm assuming that you've never been to Alberta or you'd never say that.  

I live near Calgary.  To the east of me is farming all the way to SK.   To the west of me are ranches (cattle and horse) all the way to the mountains.

Answer 6

As comic Lorne Elliott says, "going across Saskatchewan and saying it's flat is sort of like going across Toronto on the subway and saying the city is dark."

Get off the beaten track and see what it's really like.

Answer 7

LOL chill out not all the prairies is all about ranching and farming. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't a bunch of cowboys live in Calgary? Yeah granted that over here we ain't got mountains and our hills are small, but y'all farm just as much as we do. You guys ain't that close to the coast to be labeled west coast.
