    lol... That's so random.

    I was born and grew up in Alberta. (in Edmonton)

    I know Fort Saskatchewan... It's quite close to Edmonton.. but ya, not many ask about it, that's for sure. lol. it's a very small town, not even 20, 000 people if I'm not mistaken.

    lol.. one thing I definitely remember about it is that there is this f***ing flock of sheep that walks around downtown during the summer.. and no one even cares. lol. the sheep graze in the city park and then like cruise through the streets home... it's very weird sh*t.

    Well if you're comfortable living in rural prairie town in the central Canada then it would be a fine place to live...

    Be warned though, during the winter temperatures can fall to negative 30 to -40 Celsius and stay at around those temperatures for a month or two. Winters are 4-5 months long. lol.

    Summers are very dry, and humid. Very, very hot some days. (30+ degrees celsius during the summer months..)

    Just before dying in Colorado, my mother was there and sent me a very weird letter about that place.
    I decided to investigate further and was thinking, since I have no time now to fly to Canada, to hire a detective.

    sounds like most people here dont know much about it. yes, there is a prison there, but thats not even close to majority employer. the town exists purely for the refineries there. shell scotsford being the main one. its hardly country living, since its a 5min drive from edmonton, which is albertas capital city. i drive through this town approximately 3 times a month, and i cant say ive ever seen a flock of sheep anywhere, let alone walking around on the street??

    not really. its almost a suburb of edmonton. its not your typical small town, since most people there have a lot of money. the salary at the refineries is between 70-100g/yr. its basically just your typical alberta town, which wont mean much to you, since youve never been here.(im assuming anyway?) if you have a specific question, let me know.
