Q:
A: Every province has a provincal capital and Edmonton was a early outpost of the Hudson's Bay Company and was populated more in the early days and Calgary was either not as big but the initial settlement of the area and build up was there first. More often the largest city of each province is the capital, some other proivnce it was early in the beginning, like Victoria is the capital of B.C and Sasakatoon is the one for Saskatchwean, so ti is not alway the rule.
