NEW - Alberta Culture: What a Vancouver Uber Driver Noticed

Alberta identity looks different from the back seat of a Vancouver Uber. A driver's unexpected question offers a chance to recognise what your own province feels like to somebody else. What had he noticed that an Albertan hadn't? Think a minute of planking sounds manageable? A 61-year-old woman's five-hour record inspires a much shorter attempt, but confidence and the clock quickly stop getting along. Hear how long that “no problem” promise survives once the shaking starts. Trucks, mullets and provincial pride are easy material for a joke. Deciding what they say about belonging is harder. Before writing off another part of Canada, there's a challenge here worth putting to your own assumptions: what are you actually basing that opinion on?
