Alberta

Alberta — it's not just oil and cowboy country. It's also home to some of the most cutting-edge research and innovation in the country and a vibrant arts and culture scene.

To get the conversation started, Daybreak Alberta host Russell Bowers was joined by Holger Petersen and Will Ferguson.

Holger Petersen is the host of CBC Radio's celebrated national blues show, Saturday Night Blues. He also runs Stony Plain Records, Canada's leading roots and blues music label.

Will Ferguson is the author of several award winning books including Canadian History for Dummies, How to Be Canadian and Beyond Belfast.
