I've always heard that Alberta is the 'Texas of Canada' (presumably for the oil & being politically conservative). But since Canada only has 10 provinces, I guess that would mean each province needs to represent 5 different US states.

If Alabama and Texas are two of them, what are the other 3 for Alberta?
