Fort MacMurray Boomtown

Would you want to start off your new family living in a town close to the tar sands? It only smells when the wind blows your way.

Health care is ok. Not great. Wait times are still about 4 hours.

Average salary is 80K. But remember, you have to work the night shift at 40 below and it's dark for 17 hours out of 24 in the winter. But it can also snow randomly anytime, basically.

The weather's been pretty unstable lately. Wonder why?
