Is that what you took as the main point of that post? I didn't really think pointing out the primary demographics of a certain group qualified as a complaint against said group.

I don't know if you really actually know any O&G people, because there are plenty of non white dudes, and plenty of women.
Which would be why I included the word "primarily."

Also, you couldn't find a job for 18 months? I don't believe that, especially because you are a white dude. And from what I've learned here, white dudes have allll the advantages.
Yep, it's almost as if the job market in Victoria is different than the one in Calgary.

Anyways, my point was never about white guys, it was a discussion about empathy. I do think that if we're going to serious start shifting away from O&G that the government owes it to O&G workers to help provide them with training and skills that make them employable in other industries.
