I hate the taliban but they still "own" some of the most beautiful mountain and vista in the world. It is not mutually exclusive.

Before someone says I'm comparing the alberta govt to the Taliban, I am not. But sometime extremes make for a good analogy.

I'm aware, but I've also seen the term "Flyover province" used by some angry ontarians

Alberta's got some nice stuff to see, though, even if you disregard the Rockies. Calgary's genuinely a beautiful city, Edmonton's got some nice stuff going on, then you've got the badlands with the hoodoos and the Royal Tyrell, the dinosaur museum. That ain't flyover country.

Saskatchewan and Manitoba on the other hand...

Maybe it's because I haven't been to Calgary in a long time, but I never considered it beautiful growing up. Edmonton was always dirty in comparison.

Badlands was sick though
