Boy, am I glad I got out of the oilfield services industry two years ago. My goodness, I knew the bubble would burst but not to the point of getting handouts from the provincial government.
If my tax dollars are going to be bailing out energy companies, I want to see some ethical, responsible and green assurances first before I even agree to it. Also, not a single penny of these dollars should be going towards anything that resembles monetary rewards for employees or "retention bonuses" or things like that. The money should be used simply for companies to meet their bottom line, and no more.
