Comments

Fort McMurray is an area of shifting legal status in Alberta's northern reaches, and has since become infamous as a modern boomtown, where the town's population is directly correlated with oil's price per barrel. The city's onetime mascot "McMurray d'Moose" appears to have been completely forgotten today.
