In a Canadian town, people’s car fobs have stopped working

There may be only one place in the Northern Hemisphere where people aren't talking about the cold: Carstairs, Alberta, north of Calgary. They've got a mystery in the town of 4,000. Car FOB's have stopped working near a grocery store.

Where’s your climate change now? Right outside your door

26 below zero? Nice!

26 below zero? Nice!
