Yep, quite decent. Less than I made as an oil and gas engineer, but it's been years since I've been able to work as one of those.

Sad about just how slow the oil patch is, not a lot of hope for the near future.

There's hope for the health of the producing companies, but a few smarter friends of mine have done some analysis and it's not likely to ever require the number of employees it did years ago, or pay the ones remaining like it used to. It's also going to be much harder on service companies than it used to be. Their margins will be single digits even if "activity increases. I'd go back if I could, but so far, that hasn't worked, and I thought I had a pretty good reputation and resume. Oh well, I'm done crying about it.

Things are grinding pretty slowly here in Sk too, I`m not sure when it might pick up.

The new reality may be that the tar sands never come back to the way they were even if we get the pipelines put in. It may be finally time that we start processing the oils out of tar sands and put all the petro chemicals useful form so that we can develop manufacturing processes, such as plastics and other petroleum based products.

Since the NDP/Green got in here, BC has been on a steep downward spiral as well.

BC politics are unique as to the corruption and incompetence, I remember back when Harcourt got elected and his claim to fame was that he was the first Premier of B.C to have a degree.

We should send it Trump's way and shut down Washington Canadian style, we toasted the white house once maybe now we can freeze the pipes.

I made it back from Regina. That's not an enjoyable place in winter.
