alberta is a strange animal.
alberta seems the most US-like of all canadian provinces. Its all about government keeping out of the business and politics of the people. Now that they have the oil/gas revenues to keep things going there isn't going to be a need for the prov gov to want into people's pockets either.
I am dismayed at the "grab for the gold" mentality when it comes to natural resources though. Here we have a province that could be a world leader in the development of sustainable energy but the government and the people seem too short-sighted.
Look at calgary as a model for uncontrolled auto-centric sprawl!
To the OP, it is hard to say which place is better between ontario and alberta. Alberta has the rockies, but it also has miserable weather (i lived in canmore for a while. i prefer the west side of the rockies and prefer the ocean most of all).
