How Alberta Got Its Name..
John Campbell was Marquis of Lorne, and eldest son of the Duke of Argyll. He was 33 and recently married when he was posted to Canada as the new Governor General. He adored his young wife, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, who was the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria.
In 1882, the Marquis was asked to name one of the four new districts that had previously been part of the Hudson's Bay Company holdings known as Rupert's Land. According to historian Merrily Aubrey, inspiration for a new name came from the man's heart.
Actually the Marquis of Lorne, at the time of the naming, wrote a little poem because he was very much in love with his wife and the two of them seemed to get along very well. I mean, there may have been dalliances, but by all accounts probably not.
He wrote: In token of the love which thou has shown for this wide land of freedom, I have named a province vast and for its beauty famed by thy dear name.
In her later years, the princess once told an interviewer that her husband wanted the name to be associated with his tenure in office, besides, the American state Louisiana precluded the use of her first name.
In 1905, the district called Alberta became a province. History shows the only discouraging word over the choice of a girl's name appeared in an editorial in the Edmonton Bulletin.
And the article went on to say that even naming it after that quadruped that once swarmed over the plains in great herds would be more appropriate than naming it Alberta. So, we could have been Buffalonia or Bisona.

It's a mystery to me how a corpse can be identified sometimes by dental records, if they don't know who you are how the fck do they know who your dentist is?
Me and my girlfriend had sex in my car last night and it was pretty uncomfortable.
I wish we'd dropped her parents off first.
