You demonstrate your ignorance, yet I'm the piece of work.....? Okay. How can anyone take an opinion seriously from a guy that can't distinguish between "your" and "you're".....

Lol I'm ignorant? It's the dumb ass IT guy that invented auto correct that cannot distinguish between the two.

FFS "You're" the one that started spouting off at the fingers on the keyboard bashing a guys charge out rate.

Your spouting off at the fingers on the keyboard, let me put it to you this way, do you get compensated for taking that 18k course?

By this time next year the true cost of how you voted will be setting in. It takes time for all the money from the main industry to dry up, then the second wave of layoffs will start, this is where you guys think all the so called plentiful jobs come from. All this is going to be coming happen simply because you voted wrong....no other reason...it is just stupidity that caused this.

I don't know who voted wrong..... but here is a little info for those that think that O&G is the only thing to do in Canada. The numbers are from 2012.... so I'm sure they could have changed some, but it's all I have for now. Not even 8% of GDP is from O&G. Just food for thought. As I've said before, I'm not above delivering pizza to feed the family.

The Canadian economy in 2012, composed of the industries listed below, had a relative weighting - as a percentage value of GDP:[SUP][29][/SUP]

  • 12.34 Real estate and rental and leasing
  • 10.86 Manufacturing
  • 07.96 Mining quarrying and oil or gas extraction
  • 07.03 Health care and social assistance
  • 06.90 Public administration
  • 06.55 Finance and insurance
  • 05.41 Wholesale trade
  • 05.41 Retail trade
  • 05.38 Educational services
  • 05.21 Professional scientific and technical services
  • 04.20 Transportation and warehousing
  • 03.31 Information and cultural industries
  • 02.58 Administrative and support, waste management and remediation services
  • 02.46 Utilities
  • 02.10 Accommodation and food services
  • 02.04 Other services (except public administration)
  • 01.59 Agriculture forestry fishing and hunting
  • 00.76 Management of companies and enterprises
  • 00.75 Arts entertainment and recreation

You need primary industry (O&G, agriculture, mining, forestry, etc) to drive new money into the economy. The primary industry generates cash from exports and the secondary industries really just thrive on the re-distribution of that cash.

Not to walk into a pissing match but although the GDP may only be 8% mining/oil/gas most other industries rely on it.

Provincially 50% of employment is made up of Construction, Mining, O&G, Accommodation & Food Service.... pretty tough to deny the impact of O&G

Nobody will have the money to buy pizza's

Then you've never delivered pizza.... some pretty low-life skids depend on pizza to feed their welfare babies. Delivering to subsidized housing was probably 30% of my deliveries. Mind you that was Ft. Mac and even the bums had money.

Nope.. I'm not denying it's importance, I'm saying it isn't the only game in town. Clean energy companies will still need IT people. ;)

I stand corrected i have never delivered pizza and welfare will still be collecting more than their share for doing nothing as usual, i just get this real bad feeling in the pit of my gut that this spoiled brat we voted in is going to do so much harm with his spending it will be irreversible.

Looking at my taxes paid this year to date I'm wondering if it's worth it. Way north of 200 days this year out of town and the man taking half of what I make. I know lots of people living comfortably back home in the Koots on benefits and farming organic, thinking I'm the dumb one.

Justin Trudeau is spending money faster than a drunken sailor, sooner or later we are going to have to cover this tab. The bad news for you is he is dumb enough to fall for Al Gores money making scheme. Alberta is singled out as the province that is causing all of canada's green house gases. Don't expect the young girls who voted him in to cut their showers shorter that 1/2hr or turn the heat down to 19. Now normally you can expect you premier to fight for you, but you guys "voted in" knot head. In a year or two from now things are going to be a lot worse......sorry to have to say it, but it is the truth. If Harper would have got voted in, things would be a lot different, but you wanted change ...now you have it. And like i said earlier that light at the end of the tunnel is really a train coming.

can't seem to find anyone who says they voted NDP or Liberal here. although found one who says the government will look after us, don't worry!!!!
