You may make a pound on the exchange rate in Canada (7)
I believe the answer is:
alberta
'in canada' is the definition.
('Alberta' is part of 'canada')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alberta that I've seen before include "Bale rat out of Canada" , "Einstein" , "Province of W. Canada" , "Canadian province, capital Edmonton" , "part of Canada" .)
