    Trust me, I know how it feels. Seems like people (the ones with money and stability at least) here in Ontario are living in a dream world. Just walking around, planning their vacations. I think they’ve been so desensitized to violence in the MENA that it’s just background noise to them. They don’t grasp the severity of the situation. They’re in for a very rude awakening I think. I myself fully expect to be out of a job in a couple months since my job is literally making food using oil, and we’ve all seen the stories coming out of India about the restaurant sector imploding….

    Turns out that not caring about geopolitics doesn’t make you magically immune to the consequences of it. Being a tankie is like being Cassandra.

      Canada is self sufficient with LNG. They will probably lock down prices to avoid a recession. So you probably wont be out of a job.

        Well that’s at least one less thing to worry about lol. And I’m probably going back to school for welding in a few months anyways, I wonder if I’ll have even more job security because of all this. Working for the fossil fuel industry would be hard to live down though.
