Everyone focuses on their own livelihoods and industry. We just hear and talk about O&G more because that is a major part of our economy and lives. Most of us are in O&G or a related industry or have people very close to us in that industry. If/when O&G takes a hit that means it trickles down to the service industries because people stop shopping or going out or whatever.
If we were on Toronto Puck we would be talking about manufacturing and automotive. If we were on Montreal Puck we would be talking about minerals and maple syrup.
