top) oil, oil, oil. southern saskatchewan is black gold land.

middle) forget the farming, we've got oil.

bottom) this was taken in roche percee, not new orleans. it is a town filled with history, petroglyphs, tee-pee circles, buffalo kill sites, and now an abandoned trailer park. the town was hit hard by the flooding in southern saskatchewan this past spring. everybody has been forced out and asked to relocate. abandoned, much like the rest of rural saskatchewan.
