Bill,
The golf season that far north, near Prince Albert would be approximately late April - early October. Definitely a short season compared to what many Americans (and BC residents) are accustomed too.
Politically, a blue-stater would feel more at home in a province that established the first Bill of Human Rights in 1947, preceeding the United Nations. The great (and recently ranked Greatest Canadian!!) Tommy Douglas also initiated our universal health care system while premier of the province.
