Gull Lake 

place. Delightful resort hamlet nestled in the armpit of west-central Alberta. Formerly a thriving village built on soggy land wrestled from the clutches of the native inhabitants it has undergone an unwanted downsizing in recent years as evaporation and chemical fertilizers have wreaked havoc on both the lake and the current residents. Home to some of the finest gravel-rich moraines, human filth, alluvial silt deposits, and piles of broken plastic flotation devices in Canada, Gull Lake is poised to take advantage of the coming covid-inspired “We are desperate to vacation anywhere” ethos. Pony rides are available for the kiddies and an Armenian style brothel is under construction.

Why vacation in Gull Lake? We can get hepatitis right here at home.
