A: As a general matter, breach of contract arises when a party to a contract fails to perform without there being some underlying legal defense, provided the contract is valid and there are no defenses to its formation. However, your contract could be governed by provisions of Alberta law (you mention Alberta). To answer your question, an attorney is likely to ask you to show them the contract, as breach is an act that can be defined or governed by the terms of a contract.
