What I can say is that, yes, the majority of the people I know, which are mostly in my age group, who work(ed) in O&G, voted NDP and knew full well it would likely affect their employment. One of which actually said those words to me, the ones you noted above. "I know I should vote PC, but I just can't let my personal career path get in the way of my social values." I know multiple geologists and engineers in their early-mid twenties, who are being hit hard by all of this, who think this way.

This is an attitude shift amongst many people in my age group. It's not an aberration, it's an evolution.

Yup. First generation ever to think they were going to change the world while in their early twenties.
