Interest rate hikes have brought Canada’s cost-of-living crisis to a fever pitch. And while workers are feeling the squeeze, energy corporations are reaping superprofits.
Job losses in oil and gas is fine and everyone involved should keep that in mind. Colleges and universities should be steering stem kids out of pero-engineering, and tradeschools should be pointing people away from fuckin Fort McMurray. In Ontario though there are still loads of millwrights/plumbers/electricians being told that they can go work 5 years in the oil patch then come back home, buy a house and put their feet up.
At this point I would rather Canada struggle to make work for the people displaced by the loss of O&G than continue to fuel their bullshit.
