Proximity to the border, and general geographic location, Alberta should focus on growing this region. It helps that the UCP have been forced to put the brakes on completely leveling the area for mining. It's beautiful down there, and would provide a bridge between Waterton and Banff, with easy access to skiing and (during the summer) one of the best drives to BC that there is.
How times have changed. Now I live here, and the UCP could allow a mountain top removal coal mine, which will be bad for bears.
