Raising Canes is a popular fried chicken spot mostly in the southern states. There have been rumours and even fake TikTok account stating that Canes and its magnificent sauce will be coming to Alberta. Which is not the case. In a recent post to their website, Raising Canes has said they won&#39;t be expanding to Alberta quite yet. However with the recent Chik Fil A&#39;s opening up and Chipotle&#39;s popping up in BC, I ask this question to you....What popular fast food chain do you want to see here in Alberta?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>My answer...In n Out from California!
