Want this question answered?
Yes, they certainly do. They contribute a LOT to Canada's needs.
There are 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada
Canada has many different climates fore it is a country that has a large horizontal mass. You have BC and the Maritime provinces surrounded by ocean and the Prairie provinces in the center of land mass. The thermal of effect of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean's call for milder winters and summer where as provinces such as Manitoba and Alberta have much harsher winters and hotter summers.
Not all our provinces are called prairie provinces. The Prairies are a geographical area of Canada where its all pretty much flat. Saskatchewan, for example, has no hills. Well, one, but its man-made. ======================================== No hills in Saskatchewan, you say?? The Cypress Hills, which straddle the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, have the highest elevation of any Canadian location between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador.
Because it's as much part of Canada as any other provinces!!
Yes. The Prairie Provinces are major in Canada's energy needs.
Yes, they certainly do. They contribute a LOT to Canada's needs.
No. The prairie provinces such as Alberta contribute a significant portion of Canada's energy needs. Fort McMurray is one such area where a large portion of Canada's oil comes from.
I'm asking you for the answer
The Prairie provinces are located in Canada, and comprise the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, as they are covered partially by grassland. The Mackenzie River drains much of this region of Canada.
The landlocked Prairie Provinces have a continental climate. In a continental climate, people experience short, warm summers and long winters. It is like this because Canada is in the higher altitudes. The Prairie Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta lie on the leeward side of the western mountains. They do not receive much rain.

The Prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have one of the worlds largest supply of oil. Currently producing over 2 million barrels of oil a day they are a major contributor to Western Canada's energy needs. Eastern Canada prefers to purchase their oil from Middle Eastern Countries and the declining North Sea fields. The Prairie provinces produces massive amounts of Uranium. Saskatchewan has the worlds largest uranium mine and some of that uranium powers generating stations in Eastern Canada. Western Canada has only had experimental and research reactors, never benefiting from the massive subsidies given to our nuclear energy industry. Most of the jobs in nuclear research have been moved to Eastern Canada which resulted in Canada losing much of the medical market. Natural Gas is shipped as far east as Ontario and Quebec.
