Well, when you said it wasn’t in Alberta, then I started googling a bit different. Until then it was all assuming it was in Alberta or Manitoba…

That was good! Makes me regret not doing the evil plan I had for the last one I posted. I was going to post a picture of Gibraltar but invert the picture so that north is south and vice-versa (hence my question about true north). But I thought that would be too evil. Then you come up with the perfect red herring “Canadian Prairie Town”! Very twisted 
!
Good work.
Funny, I was looking along the North Canadian River.
