Alberta has got a strangely unique climate compared to the rest of the Canadian west and the mid-western prairie farmlands which extend to the east of Alberta.
In the middle of winter, Alberta can suddenly turn into the 'hot spot' in Canada because of warm winds that will unexpectedly blow in off the Rocky Mountains, but then Alberta's temperature can turn back to -40 overnight.
In summer, Alberta can easily reach 40C/110F in July and be subject to significant drought, so the climate in Alberta is really no different in many ways than the mid-western USA in both summer and winter in that regard.
About 100 million years ago, Alberta was a tropical climate with very lush forests, all of which are gone now including the stumps, but what that ancient environment made Alberta was the official 'Dinosaur Capital of the World'.
There were more dinosaurs in Alberta Canada than were ever found anywhere else on earth. There is even a dinosaur that is indigenous to that specific region that was name an "Albertasaurus".
The hotspot for looking at dinosaur fossils is a place called 'Drumheller, Alberta Canada' which is now a tourist destination.
