Once again, Al, you are too literal for your own good.

But really, Matt is right: your non-doctorness was the deciding factor here.

Doesn't take much to know information like that. Really any one with some interest in resources of this province could easily find out that information regardless of their education. Actually I suggest you take a brief look at what resources are being extracted and at what rates. Right now and the near future we will be getting a good share of money from these sources. Might as well know what type of money we are expecting and try to get the highest price for it. Take that money and try and do some good with it.

And you only knew that, because you aren't a doctor.

Sorry to burst your bubble but most rigged drilled are actually natural gas wells.

And yes operation on a gas well and a oil well are very different.

Yeah, doctors don't know how to work oil rigs, do they? So good effin' riddance.

Rolling out the welcome mat:

On April 22, Dr. W.J. Dickout, the interim vice-president of medical affairs for the Edmonton region of Alberta Health Services, put out an internal memo directing a freeze on all new physician hires.

"All recruitment efforts must cease until further notice," read the letter. Dickout blamed the hiring freeze on "evolving and significant fiscal challenges facing AHS."

...

Also included on the April 22 list of doctors who wouldn't be hired by Alberta Health Services? Philip Baker, the U of A's incoming dean of medicine. According to the AHS, Baker could still come to work at the university. He just wouldn't have privileges at the U of A Hospital.

Let it Shine.

Look at this fucking hipster:
