Mining is one of the few sectors really growing and Canada is a mining powerhouse.

If I needed a job I wouldn't necessarily be adverse to looking in that direction.

I would need the electric kilt with circulating fan and bring 30" cones because they'll shrink to 6" in the cold up there (an old McMillan joke) 😉

Some like to use large words, proceed with caution by doing so.......
