Oops! Justin Trudeau 'embarrassed' after forgetting Alberta during Canada Day

To celebrate Canada's 150th birthday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a speech to a cheering crowd in Ottawa Saturday, highlighting Canada's multiculturism while name dropping all provinces and territories.

However, he failed to mention one major Canadian province in his speech, Alberta.

Speaking to the crowd at Rideau Hall, Trudeau said:

"We may live in British Columbia, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland and Laborador…but we embrace that diversity while knowing in our hearts we are all Canadians."

The crowd may have cheered but Twitter was quick to point out that the PM had missed one of the country’s provinces and territories: Alberta.

Trudeau himself was quick to jump to Twitter to apologize to Alberta.
