Today we visit Fort McMurray.
This is a small town in the North of Canada, functioning on oil industry.
This oil is gained from tar sand.
There are huge sand fields from which big draglines dig off the tar sand.

After the fields have been dig off and the sand is cleaned it is given back to nature.
Even the bison’s come back to the fields.

In a bar in Fort McMurray we can use internet, so Fred has an opportunity to send congratulations to his wife Sytske, who has her birthday today.
