[Alberta's Child]

I don't think it's a coincidence that the most lopsided female-to-male ratios shown on the map in that article are in urban areas, while the most lopsided male-to-female ratios are in rural areas.

I've long felt that urban living is incompatible with a normal family life for most people.

That is a VERY interesting idea.

I’d be very interested in your take from the Alberta perspective. I’m from the States but spent most of the past 20 years in Ontario. Alberta, with a white collar city, a blue collar city, and a rural population, each of roughly equal size, has always struck me as inherently healthier. I’m guessing that, from a looking-for-a-spouse perspective, that Edmonton would be a great city to be a woman and Calgary a great city to be a man.
