Many BC companies don't want to hire guys coming back to BC from Alberta...

 

Word is that they don't want to work hard and have inflated values about how much they should be paid....

 

PS - you probably aren't very rowdy nowdays.... maybe you were 20 years ago though.....

Oh ffs Albertans are the hardest working people you will ever meet. 14 hours a day is normal out here that's like a whole work week for the hippies on the left coast.

What about all the oil wells in BC and the mine sites left. I realize some of you have a superiority complex with Alberta but maybe you wonder about BC..

I read that AB has 90,000 inactive wells and BC has 10,000.

 

What is the environmental impact of the mine sites? is there a lot of them?

What about the clear cutting of mountain sides? I know that's illegal but go up white swan road down by canal flats and you'll see it plain to day. 

Oil and logging arnt much different cause I know of a few areas that haven't been replanted like your suppose to do after logging an area lol

jesus. Both are bad for the world but we need both ha and both provinces need the money earned from them....

Oh , I dunno. My nephew in law is a logger, I'll ask him. Handy guy to have in the fam, he's coming over later this week. I've got about 5 trees that have to come down after the recent wind storm. 

 

I had not heard about the BC wells like Ryan mentioned so I looked them up vs AB. 

 

I actually read there is quite a bit of work in decommissioning spent and inactive wells.

Yea they are ha my family ran a logging company in b.c for years until the market crashed in the 90's. We started by horse logging and worked our way up ha

i still got uncles that log or that have lol lucky for my I'm a better faller then them lol but they can kick my rear on a skidder lol 

i get that but both provinces are dirty neither is clean and not to sound rude but have you ever been threw radiam to cranbrook ?

 

edit* there is lots of work taking apart and repairing wells, those companies are classified as oilfield services , they build them and take them apart iirc

 

also you said your nephew was a logger, bucker, skidder operator or faller?

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've a'had my share, man
I've been everywhere

 

I understand that each province has it's environmental challenges. I was really just asking good old Ryan about the amount of wells etc..since he said some of us BC'rs have a superiority complex. I hadn't heard much about inactive wells in BC. Turns out the stats are 9-1 for AB vs BC.

 

Also, like I said there is work on those wells for any that in AB need it.

Okay almost that whole valley was invested by Calgary oil money.....also if locals don't work at the mill or mine or log then a lot of their jobs are tied to tourism..( also not much of a future in logging unless you start your own logging company, last I check don't need a trade to do that job, no disrespect it's a good honestly way to make a living in my books but it's hard work)....a lot from Alberta ha 

ive met families that live in Calgary in a condo and have a big nice house in Inveremere and the locals can barely afford a house unless it's  an mobile trailer.....

yea but oilfield services is no joke, you need muscle to do the job so not just anyone can do it and it has usually been one of the lower paying jobs in the patch or starting out is.

also I've seen more oilfield services companies in s.k and Manitoba then Alberta.

I'm guessing that the majority (if not entirety) of BC wells are in the Fort St John area....

 

...probably plenty in southern Saskatchewan around Weyburn and Estevan as well...

I could use some of those tremendously hard working Albertans at my place this morn. Was loading 12ft lengths of drywall into my reno, those are awkward AF. Arms are feeling it.

They would probably want me to pay $50 an hour though, I imagine. Maybe that's on the cheap side?

50 an hour lol I'll do it lol no starting out most oil field services companies start you out at 16 or 18. Lol

it's not like the rigs lol

damn man....hanging drywall is no joke either and 

their sometimes to easy to brake lol did it for a summer in high school never again lol (my parents always told me that's why they had kids so they could do the grunt work ha) 

theres hard workers every where but the hard workers want the highest paying jobs and why riggers make what they do cause it's tough work and not everyone is cut out for it....just like logging...

FFS - albertans work 14 yrs days because they don't know how to read... so it takes about 9 hrs for them to read the building plans..... and then they get to work for 5 hrs.

You can't count that as a 14 hr work day.... 

 

BC ers would do the same amount work in 5 hrs.....

 

FFS even the newfies in Alberta get promoted quickly as their level of education  / math / reading skills .  are  so much higher than albertans....

you think riggers can count lmfao they can only count to ten and if they have to count to 20 better plug your   nose cause those feet will be smelly thx to those heavy work boots lol

 

 

Riggers would just smear mud on your trucks new floor mats..... eat your cookies... fart....... / leave chew stains in thermal mug holders....  then demand to bill you 1.5 extra hours for having to talk work during their lunch break........

King really Alberta  public school system kicks the hell out of B.Cs. 

Oh king you know once you start drilling you can't stop sometimes , so it's running 24/7 so riggers do earn their pay check.

Go be a floor hand for one hitch and if your lucky they will let you throw pipe for a bit and have fun with that ha

oh don't forget when you move the rig and you have to carry every heavy piece that Unbolts and that sucks.....

oh better pray the rig doesn't take a kick cause it could kill everyone on the floor.....
