The 1906 passenger list seems to have George as a US citizen, so I would think Buffalo, New York would be the most likely destination.  Buffalo, NY is probably about the same distance from the Canadian ports as it would be from New York City, so back then, people would probably sail to whatever port was cheapest at the moment and take the train on to Buffalo.

I knew I should have worked harder at Geography in school.  :D

With the Buffalo Alberta possibility pretty much ruled out, the search moves to Buffalo, NY.  (I think the various Buffalo City locations dotted around the USA would be unlikely.
