From the cbc.ca article, talking about the Queen's visit today to the newly renamed Royal Alberta Museum. There's some art outside:
Named Buffalo Twins, it represents the two provinces, which considered merging in 1905 into a single province called Buffalo.
*shudder* I can't imagine how things would be if Alberta and Sask were one province. Nevermind the Sask jokes, this would be a huge province, 3/4 farmland...would Calgary and Edmonton be as big, or bigger, then they are now? What about Regina and Saskatoon?
Interesting. Wouldn't have cared for the name, however.
