Good points, by the way, what part of Canada are you from?
I have dealt first hand with assembling a rig and all the crews, with just days before spudding the well and have a court order shut the whole thing down.
The latest was in Utah where a sacred Indian arrow-head hunting ground managed to put over 100 people out of work. Of course, we quickly went some where else and our paychecks didn’t see any difference, but the real losers were the indians. They stood to get huge royalties off the mineral rights.
I'd forgotten about the racial apologist/revisionist crowd and their use of 'heritage' as yet another excuse for curtailing crude and mineral production. Next time, I'll include this lot right along with the environazis. Thks for the reminder.
