Did u go off ur meds again Neville






80% of this paragraph u wrote is complete b.s, even past Larry's b.s



Do u really believe what u wrote


For the record again, I know more people living in Alberta that are left handed cigarettes smokers than here in b.c



I have also lived at both provinces, yes b.c is more laid back... It's because there's no oilfield b.s attitude here to push sh!t, make people work retarded unsafe hours, through holidays ect

But b.c has a younger population that has a work ethic that the oilfield has screwed up Alberta youth into mehhhh work was that.... Hence y there is jack sh!t for young people working at timmies ect and Phillipines working cause no young kids want to work

so you still don't know anyone in BC?

And now shell even has a dedicated rat phone number.

Lol, I got that memo from safety yesterday as well...where will it end.
And then I got one today from Shell putting out a safety bulletin about "road departures" explaining how there has been a rash of big trucks going off the road and how big trucks have the right of way over 4's on single lane bush roads...but what they don't seem to get is when you get two 18's meeting on that single lane bush road in the mud, that's where the majority of "road departures" happen...you can tell these desk jockeys have never driven in the bush

A little worse than that. Just over 3000 high paying jobs lost in the first 48hrs of the budget. My sincere condolences to you and your families in these troubled times, stay strong and try and get through it the best you can. Follow your gut instincts it will guide you best.

Thought this would be a good read for anyone that tries keeping up with this stuff. Markets definitely pummelled into the ground it's going to be hard to recover after this spell. I'm guessing we have at least one more year probably 2 before we start seeing any signs of recovery.

Recovery will not happen until after the next election which is just under 4 years from now.

Current government definitely isn't helping anything but oil and natural resources are just coming into their normal cycle it happens just everyone hates when they can't make 120k being a labourer in the oilfield. Going to take a while to bounce back regardless
