I've said for years that I've learned so much about the world from working in Fort McMurray in the Oilsands, and in construction in general. (Sounds like you've had similar experiences ship-side)
I've worked with and learned from people from many African, European, and South American nations and loved the opportunity.
First example comes to mind is a wonderful gentleman from Cameroon named Gordon Ndamukong (probably spelled that really wrong). He was a school teacher who spoke 9 languages and had never even changed a tire before, who found himself on the other side of the planet with a 5 foot long torque wrench in his hands, 150 feet up the side of a tower.
He was a skinny man, not strong, but he gave his all. I outweighed him by 50 pounds and had 30 years experience, but he did his best to keep up and did himself proud.
During breaks he stayed out in the coverall shack, studying so he could upgrade his teaching qualifications to be recognized in Canada.
He was a kind and gentle man. The only time I ever heard anger and hatred in his voice was when he told of his best friend being murdered by Boko Harum less than a month before we met.
I learned more about his region of Africa in a month than I had gleaned from a lifetime of reading the news and will always treasure those experiences.

I get it totally . Some people leave an impression on you that remains for life . Wether it be sheer courage or resilience in adversity or compassion or empathy for felllow humans . I was only thinking the other day how proud I am of my son . Yeah sure it’s easy to be biased being someone so dear to you but it’s simply because of the way he treats other people . With the upmost respect and dignity . I’m humble enough to say he actually reminds me at times of what being a tolerant kind person is about .
It’s like the gentleman you spoke of . There’s simply too much anger and intolerance in the world at times .
Someone commented the other day they like animals company more than humans because they understand them better . Such a relatable comment for me sadly .
Be proud, my friend. That kind of person doesn't just fall from the sky, they learn that behavior, and that shines a very positive light on his parents.

Yesterday....for the first time ever...I made LIVE HASH
I did not even think that was a possibility...cut 3 branches of blackberry sugarcane...1 of the double grape and 1 of the skywalker og leaning neverautos and bucked em...did a run.
Smells like pure pinesol. I thought i spilled paint in the garage the smell was so powerful...maybe it is terpentime !
PINE cleaner and berries...its in the freezer now to be planed later. 25 45 160 190 bags....45 to 160 was tan and the rest was green crap. That is how i outdoor.
good luck all...the weather is looking good in southwestern ontario for the next 10 days...tomorrow a bit of rain then a steady run of beauty fade weather !
This is quite possibly the best weather for growing weed here i have ever seen..we are in a weird spot where global warming has only boosted the grow time (if you can keep things watered)... But I would never grow my script outside. Too many variables. Too many weird and unusual pests i have to read about.
I know thrips. And I like to murder about 10000 a year as a sacrifice to greatness.
I had to hide the skittle mittens...1 doob left

Don’t worry, Alberta clippers are on the way soon enough!??
Nicejob with the run, sounds delish
If that is to me, I spent most of my time up there at Suncor, often staying in the nasty shithole that was Millenium. Worked quite a bit at Syncrude too. Did one job at CNRL and swore I'd never work for those dangerous, incompetent, disrespectful assholes again.

If the world has an asshole, it’s the Mac!
I lived there for some time, not in the camps, but in the Mac…
Never Ever Ever, would I tell someone it’s ok to live there!
You can tell me about gangs and shootings and what ever else comes to mind, the Mac has it all… Always has!
And the Cops up there are true magicians for being able to cover up THAT place and it’s happenings!.
Hatred and Contempt arent even close to what I feel about that place… I lived it!
CNRL did me a Huge solid by blacklisting me from both sites in my early 20’s, Even today I look back and think, ya, I’d punch that doofus out again, only I’d do it much better this round!..lol
I know exactly how you feel about them, and I had one of the managers in my sight For some time.
My anger got the better of me one day, and I was very fortunate to not take charges..
Good on ya for being able to tolerate, even if it was being able to walk away!.. I couldn’t anymore.
That place made me a bull in a china shop!
(ohhh the stories I could tell ya!)
DON‘T EAT THE FISH!!!! No, not even once a month!

Southwest Ontario.... Can't help but wonder if the wind blows hard and you smell Cheese now and then lol.

Not unless they “cut the cheese”… hahaha?
I fueled up on my way through, and spent one night in a BnB there while waiting for a room in camp. I had no desire to spend time in that hole. The only way I wanted to see that town was in my rear view mirror.
And the number of corpses that get hauled out of camp in the wee morning hours is shocking.
ODs, suicides, heart attacks...all the lonely and sad ways there are to die, the camps have them.
The most repulsive stories are when a guy ODs and his "buddies" haul his still warm corpse to one of the bathrooms and leave him there to be found by some poor bastard so they don't get busted.
Yeah, I walked away from a LOT of money when I left, but I've never regretted it for a second.

You too.
You really can't make someone understand unless they've been there, can you? You try to explain, but you can see they just don't get it. Even a lot of the guys up there have this strange, logical disconnect.
Q "Don't you guys get paid a shitload of money?"
A "How much is your soul worth?"
Q "Yeah, but like don't you make like 6 or 8 grand a week?"
A "See above"
