Could this have something to do with many of southern Alberta’s pioneer settlers having come from the United States after failing as settlers in Nebraska, Utah and other states in the land rush?
From the Canadian Encyclopedia
Migration
The most extensive single wave of Americans came to Canada between 1895 and 1915, after the railways were well established in the West and good, inexpensive land had diminished in the US. American farmers poured into Canada, making up nearly as many western settlers as those from the British Isles, who were less likely to farm. Some of the effects of this migration are still to be seen in the relatively high US-born presence in Alberta and Saskatchewan, in the proportion of farmers among the US-born, and more arguably, in political attitudes in these provinces quite different from the remainder of Canada.

Puerto Rican’s still can’t.
