CORRECTIONS: Our apologies but we made a mistake. For WEST EDMONTON MALL, we meant to say that the family who created it moved to Edmonton in 1959 but the mall opened in 1981! Also, it seems to depend on where you look, but it looks like Mall of America has now taken #1 spot for size in North America.
I'm from Edmonton Alberta the last time I was home was in 2009 I miss home I need to go back soon these are interesting facts about Alberta that I never knew about
Thank for your interesting video. Alberta is Natur pur, nice clean cities and friendly people! Can‘t wait to visit Alberta, the“Wildrose Country“ again soon! Greetings from Germany to you guys.👍❤️🇩🇪
Hi Matt and Karla. I love all these fun facts of our home Province. So sad that WEM lost out on the Largest Mall in North America but it is still #1 to Me. Keep on having fun exploring.
Speaking about parking at WEM. I heard about an older gentleman, not from Edmonton, who was adamant that he remembered where he parked his car. He claimed that his car was stolen. Six months later, he was notified that his car was found, right where he had left it parked!
I loved all of the facts & the odd and unusual things you had to tell us. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍😊 I am a proud Edmontonian & Albertan.…born, raised & still living here. Thanks for the mention in your vlog. 👍👏😊
Thx for that informative video. Many facts I did not know. Yes would enjoy more videos like this. Great idea to do indoors when it is Prairie cold outside.
Thanks so much for your very informative videos, my good friends. Your videos make me fall in love with Alberta even more! Can't believe you missed one of Alberta loveliest spots: The Castle of the Rockies, better known as The Banff Springs Fairmont Hotel. (I don't live in Canada, but hope Alberta becomes my home in the not so distant future.)
Being from Alberta i really enjoyed the video despite knowing most of the facts. I would like to see more videos like this occasionally on your channel 👍✌🙏
There is a "biggest" in Alberta that you left off your list. The train bridge in Lethbridge is the biggest in the world; there are trestle bridges that are longer, others that are higher, buy there is no other as tall and long. In 110 years, it had shifted less than in inch! It's an amazing span of iron. Check it out and add it to your list. :)
Alberta's own culture must be protected. I heard Calgary's Mayor as she was talking about getting people from Toronto and Vancouver to move to Calgary, she said that Calgary had too much Cowboy Culture, and thought it need to be replaced. That's the last thing we need. For people to turn our Province into what they are leaving. (If it was so great, they wouldn't need to leave). Western Cowboy Culture is Alberta's culture. For all those moving to Alberta please integrate into our culture, LOVE our culture like we do, and protect it from those who seek to destroy it.
I don’t think we have much cowboy culture. That ended a long time ago. I was born and raised in fort mac and there was no “cowboy culture”. It exists a bit in small towns but Alberta would be dead without immigration. Calgary is honestly a better place today (culture wise) than I’ve seen it. So much going on. Still quite dead at times but its becoming better than the other cities.
I think the statement about being able to put the oil directly into your car would refer to the oil pan rather than the gas tank, because oil needs to be refined to create gasoline. Putting oil in the gas tank would clog up the fuel system and ruin the engine.
Good listing! - You got Princess Louise's names in the wrong order: Louise, Caroline, Alberta. Not only is Lake Louise named after her, but the province of Alberta gets its name from her!
My daughter and her family live on an acreage near Sundre at the foothills to the Rockies, and they work from home. She was on a conference call one day from her job in downtown Calgary,, and had a family of moose come right up to the house. The big daddy moose was looking in the window at her. Just one of many stories she's told me. Why work or live in any large urban concrete jungle, when you could be around the REAL wildlife of Canada.
Haha that’s awesome. I mean, both have their merits. Cities have loads of culture, lots of things to do, art, people, events. Rural is mostly just for peace and quiet. Both have pros and cons. But also, unless you work from home, it’s not possible for most
Surprised there wasn't a mention about the fact alberta has almost no rats and is the only province, state that has none and has dedicated rat police to enforce and control the population of rats

We love Edmonton :)
Excellent job on researching all these facts about Alberta! Born, raised and worked there before retiring to Vancouver island.
Van Island would be amazing
So many places to see and not enough time. Hi guys! Cheers
Thx for that informative video. Many facts I did not know. Yes would enjoy more videos like this. Great idea to do indoors when it is Prairie cold outside.
Thanks! I think we'll do more once the busy summer is over
Please make more videos like this. It would be cool to get facts about other provinces in Canada
Noted! :)
I hope Karla is enjoying life in Alberta. I sure do lol.
The Video is so informative that it shocks myself who have been lived actively in Calgary over 20 years. Thanks. Well done 👍.
haha that's awesome. What shocked you the most?
Thank you so much. Great video👍
Greaaaat video but we missed Karla! :(
Awww! I’ll be in the next one

We actually have a video just about the Banff Castle
Amazing presentation , indeed ! Impressive information .
Keep up the exceptional work .
Thank you very much!

Thanks! We will do more once all the travels end in the fall

That's true! We actually met in Lethbridge. I think that facts is in the article, but perhaps we'll have to do a part 2 video
I guess I take seeing that train bridge for granted!! Good to know thank you!
I'd love to see videos about provinces and cities. I'm always searching for them.
Thanks! Like more about facts than travel?
@@MustDoCanada yeah, facts. I find it so interesting.

haha yes probably. Just a way to say it was pure and make it a nice soundbite

Dang! The worst part about video is we can't fix it either
This was amazing 👏
Love it🙂❤
thinks like texas, looks like colorado. think i'm getting the hang of this alberta thing
I like your CAP
We might do another order soon. That;s our logo
I live in sylvan lake

But yes. For us, we love being in nature. But we travel too much for acreage hah.
When you are saying the wolverine DOB you said 1880s.
Surprised there wasn't a mention about the fact alberta has almost no rats and is the only province, state that has none and has dedicated rat police to enforce and control the population of rats
you could add that Alberta is the only rat 🐁 free place in the world.
true! thanks to our rat patrol
Seems like a pretty Calgary biased video.
Really? There was only 4-5 facts out of 30 about YYC
