I like the idea of a purpose built capital district at the Saskatchewan Forks, though it would be the coldest capital city on Earth on average.
Having a capital in that location could have great implications for greater connections to and settlement of the north, and would save us from the inevitable fight between Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Regina. Also, a third significant city for Saskatchewan would be pretty cool. I'd also see this hypothetical prairie country as a federation, with eventually 6 provinces (Alberta, Assiniboia, Athabasca, Denendeh, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan). Alberta and Saskatchewan would each be split in two with Alberta being the southern 2/5, Athabasca being the northern 3/5, and Assiniboia being the southern 1/4, and Saskatchewan being the northern 3/4. Manitoba would maintain its territorial integrity due to its centralized, highly concentrated southern population and sparse north, while the Northwest Territories would be granted province status and 3 seats in federal parliament for agreeing to join confederation as the province of Denendeh (similar to the special agreement given to PEI). Depending on the name of the country, I think the name of the capital city should be romanticized (or whatever the term is) so like is the country was Sipiasky, then the capital would be Sipiaskapolis, but another really good alternative for both the country name and the capital name is Omaka (big river in Cree).
