After some of the insane parties I was invited to while dating someone in O+G and the routine spending on irrelevant things, I have limited sympathy for the 'woe is me' argument that sometimes comes out of that industry (or at least what the UCP likes to defend them as such). That said, I am a huge O+G supporter overall and believe the NDP have really come a long way in understanding the importance of that industry and would let it thrive. UCP is just 'boogeymaning' them on this topic because they know ignorant, uneducated people will listen to anything they say.
