plommer Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 How far away are you, pal?2500 miles, I think. This is horrible for the city of Ft Mac. The only good that will come from the tragedy is that the economy will improve with the rebuilding of the city. One thing Ft Mac is not short of is cash. They are flush with cash.

plommer Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 why are 2 identical looking pickup trucks leading that procession? both with no front license plate... only difference is for some reason the 1st one has no rimsMore pickup trucks than cars on the road in oil country. Alberta only uses 1 plate, on the rear. To say pickup trucks are very popular in the Canadian prairies would be an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
