I didn't really understand how much people hate oil until today.

I work in oil and gas and I understand that it's detrimental to the future of our children and grand children. I don't hate oil specifically, I hate pollution and industries that purposefully drive humanity to the brink of extinction for profit.

Oil is literally the biggest polluter on the planet, you basically just said "I don't hate murders specifically, I hate killings and people that purposefully kill others"

And I would work in solar or wind if my province wasn't actively in the pocket of energy companies and purposefully dissuading renewable projects.

I feel that, a lot of the provinces worry more about money now than our future.
