The district takes up a massive part of the southern southwest part of Alberta on the United States-Canada border. The district is mostly rural and contains a wide range of topography from Mountains to farmlands, including Waterton Lakes National Park. Cardston-Taber-Warner has a long history that dates back to the old Cardston riding in the Northwest Territories.
The district also contains Alberta's southern Bible belt.

The Alliance, was so successful in 2004 it ended up winning the Student Vote and it's three Senatorial Candidates finished in the top four in district voting.
