Not long ago few wanted to venture up in the wilds of the north far reaches of the Canadian province or Alberta . Few even remember when the whole sector was a backwater part of the North West Territories . It took American money from Standard Oil to change that . This is now the Texas of the nation. On top of that its no longer Calgary which is the center-point of this base industry but rather that once forbidding remote area. Fort McMurray Alberta is the main district in the Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Canada. A city till 1995, Fort McMurray Alberta was merged with smaller Hamlets like Fort Chipewyan, Fort Mackay to form municipality of Wood Buffalo, Improvement District No. 18.
Yet on American talk radio shows such as Larry Kudlow or Mark Levin when the hosts are asked whether they have any idea of how much oil resides in this region way up north in Northern Alberta Canada their only answer seems to be "a lot of oil".

Better have a working auto block heater for your vehicle - be it car or truck , if you are visiting the Fort come cold January or February weather conditions your truck or car will need an electric "block heater".
