Hardisty

Make them decide.

Um, c- and Dennis, going back, I, I'm g- I'm not con- completely sure, but I'm gonna guess that 90% of Cold Lake's oil goes to Hardisty.

It just, you know, approximately 90%.

Yeah, I would guess it does.

On the Canadian side, not a word.

And you know what? The sleeve, the, the part that, uh, would hook up Hardisty, Alberta to the crossing at the US-Canadian border is already built.

And so, you know, you would've thought that rather than having to go through an MOU and a, you know, an approval process and great hoopla, he would've said, "Yeah, we, uh, we kinda like the Bridger.

Uh, it's in Canada's interest.

And I thought, "I can't, I can't do this.

I don't wanna just be a paycheck dad." So I, as much as I really loved the job that I was doing, I shut the business down, and I started at a midstream company in Hardisty, Alberta, and I was there for 18 years until this last March, and I worked my way up into a leadership role at Gibson's.

It was, it was good.

There's also a lot of challenges with burnout, with not protecting yourself, looking out for other people, so that led me into wanting to be somebody who would look out for others and their mental health, which Ian Hill with Empowering Minds and You Make the Difference came to Hardisty, and he was talking about suicide prevention, being a first identifier.

And I saw him there, and I went up to him and said, "Ian, I would love to do what you're doing." Well, lo and behold, he asked me in March if I would want to join his team and be a facilitator.

I automatically said yes.
