Meh, those are hills, not mountains hence the term "foothills". Usually, it's snot-nosed Calgarians who are always clammering how they live "in the mountains" trying to rub it in other people's faces. I truly get a kick out of their ignorance! Very Happy

I was having dinner with some friends last year (June 2008), and there was a guy there from the US (Minnesota).

He does machine & engine repairs.

He got called out to a drilling site in Western Minnesota to work on a machine that drills and searches for oil.

Apparently...the company had drilled down and "pinged" something they found. And some sort of sensor device detected the ping...in Western Montana.

That's several hundred miles underground of oil deposits. We're talking MILLIONS of barrels of oil.

Anyway...apparently two days later...the FBI & Homeland Security showed up...and shut the site down...and wouldn't let them drill anymore.

Now...whether it's 100% true or not...I have no way of knowing...but the guy is a pretty reputable person...and didn't seem the type to make something like that up. But an oil reserve that large...that close to Manitoba...there's probably a good chance it's tapping the southern end of the Province as well.

uh... yeah it was actually quite widely report with maps showing the massive scale of deposit as well.

What? Calgary does not have mountains? Next you're going to tell me they don't have ocean frontage as well.

Pfffft.

What would sputnik say?
