Albertans
Edmonton's provincial neighbors
Albertans are residents or natives of Alberta, a western Canadian province.
The term carries associations with the province's oil and gas industry, ranching culture, and politically conservative tendencies: Albertans voted overwhelmingly for the Conservative party.
Like Texans in the United States, Albertans are sometimes stereotyped as rugged, independent-minded, and skeptical of federal government.
