About the Author

I was an Alberta oilfield worker. I had a steady job as a communications technician for a multi-million dollar company until 'the system' practically shut it down and I found myself filling out EI papers for support. During that time, my daughter severely broke her femur and my new title as stay home dad became concrete until she was able to walk again. I had already started to become suspicious of the system and while I was unable to go to work (not that there were many jobs to be found and an extreme hike in competition), I became inspired to write my thoughts down and find similar minded folk - and hopefully try to pay the bills!
