High fuel costs?

Cowman what load of crap. Do you have any idea how much it is costing all albertans to have mabey 30% of the work force makeing big bucks not even counting the cost of gas ? If I need a mechanic the price is way up because the oil patch pays more so we all pay more Take a Cat or Backhoe or Trucks and so on then when you do need service you cant get decent service because there is some pimply faced kid that dont know if his rectum was punched bored or clawed out by wildcats, now everyone has to start somewhere but these kids are being put on the front line without training and we all pay the price why because the oil buiz will take anyone with a pulse and then take those who just might know something and make a $1500 a day consultant to look after who they just replaced themselves with .
All in all I an further behind now than I was before the big BooM came.

horse, you have such a graphic way of saying things !!!

I agree, that a lot of people aren't making the big bucks that go with the booming economy. There are many that are having a tough time of it, working at jobs in the service industry ( eg: MacDonalds, Grocery stores etc.). The spin off from the resource boom is certainly helping businesses expand and provide jobs, but most of those jobs aren't in the high income bracket.

Service has certainly deteriorated,I agree with you on that one.
