Modernity

Lest the reader thinks that we are all living in the past in this part of Canada, this is a vision of the other side of the highway, just a few kilmetres down the road. This mineral refinery plant (nickel?) has been spewing out its product (ahem, it's 'waste') for decades also. And the highway itself is a major arterial route to Alberta's oilshale deposits to the north, with a constant stream of heavy transport.

Local farmers have all been given advice of what to do in case of major environmental disaster. Lucky they know how to pray.
