Answer : ALBERTA
Alberta is bordered by British Columbia to the west, Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and Montana to the south. It is one of the only two landlocked provinces in Canada. The eastern part of the province is occupied by the Great Plains, while the western part borders the Rocky Mountains. The province has a predominantly continental climate but experiences quick temperature changes due to air aridity. Seasonal temperature swings are less pronounced in western Alberta due to occasional chinook winds.
Alberta is the 6th largest province by area, being approximately 660,000 square kilometers,[9] and the 4th most populous, being home to 4,067,175 people. Alberta’s capital is Edmonton, while Calgary is its largest city. The two are Alberta’s largest CMAs and both exceed 1 million people
Before becoming part of Canada, Alberta was home to several First Nations and was a territory used by fur traders of the Hudson’s Bay Company. The lands that would become Alberta were acquired by Canada as part of the Northwest Territories on July 15, 1870. On September 1, 1905, Alberta was separated from the Northwest Territories as a result of the Alberta Act and designated the 8th province of Canada. From the late 1800s to early 1900s, many immigrants arrived, the biggest wave of which was pushed by Wilfrid Laurier, to prevent the prairies from being annexed by Americans. Massive oil resources were discovered in Alberta in 1947.
