100 years ago there was rabbit overpopulation. The pelts got turned into something akin to a pullover sweater with hood.

It's not the same as Québec because they joined in 1867.

The big point is that the "borders at the time of joining confederation" would give them the whole slice. Thiugh I agree it is unlikely they get the whole slice, and the entire thing would be a protracted international legal battle with border disputes for decades.

That image is the district of Alberta. Alberta joined confederation looking like it does now by combining woth the district of Athabaska.

1905 – The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are created out of the districts of Athabaska, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Assiniboia; the District of Keewatin is transferred to the newly defined Northwest Territories

Neat how this doesn't happen to ambulances or fire trucks.

One of my hard drives started randomly disconnecting.

I tried all the cables, but got nothing. I don't have time to fix it before leaving for work, so I've set up a rightly reset and I'll hope for the best. Angry family texts incoming!
