The Canadian prairies is a great place to live. I don't live there but I've heard its beautiful. Agriculture is very important in the plains. Also oil is an important industtry. Oil is one of the most important industries in the Canadian Prairies.

[edit] wrong map

The article currently has a political map of the three prairie provinces. But this article is on the geological area, not the political area. And the map should reflect that. -- Geo Swan 23:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

True, this needs some careful disambiguation. Kevlar67 03:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

There do not appear to be any references credited for the production of this article. Is this an oversight? (Stormbay 03:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC))

It's likely an oversight, but I will add refs for some germane points shortly. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 04:02, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geological history

I think adding the geological history of the plains would be beneficial. I don't know it at all, just thought it would add something to the article that most other canadian geographical areas' articles have. Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.92.179 (talk) 03:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History section

I'm going to start a history section here to combine some of the duplication that has shown up on History of Alberta, History of Saskatchewan, and History of Manitoba. I want to cover everything that happened before those provinces cam into being (in a general sense) and leave the specifics up to those individial artcles, as well as Rupert's Land, North-Western Territory, and History of Northwest Territories. Hopefully we will cover the topic well enough that it can eventually be split off into its own article called History of the Canadian Northwest or something similar.
