Saskatchewan has a lot of bleak, windswept plains. The west edge of Alberta has a the Rockies Mountain range to marginally offset its own abundance of bleak, windswept plains further east. In my mid-20s I trekked in the wilder more remote parts of Banff Park and had ptarmigans feeding around my tent, watched pikas unconcernedly gathering hay while I ate my supper, and spent an afternoon stalking a local herd of bighorn sheep with my camera. I never saw another person for four days running. That was fun!
That clinches it for me. Voting for Alberta, in spite of Calgary and all it represents.
