There Goes The Neighbourhood

The folks at these three conferences probably thought they were in for a relaxing week of meditation and self reflection in beautiful Canmore, just outside of Banff National Park.

Here we see the "Stress and Meditation" seminar.

Ahhhh......

Next door is the Life's Journey workshop in the tranquil Lady Slipper Room.

Life is a journey, my friends. Enjoy the ride.

And later on, the Healing Conference pow-wow.

I say pow-wow because this was a native group, complete with burning sage grass (I think that's what it was) and traditional drummers.

So imagine their surprize when the oil boilers with the big rigs rolled in next door! For our Mega-Drilling In The Arctic conference.

Okay, so we weren't the most popular group there. Those drill rigs are a bit loud.

And messy. Probably should have left them outside.

But I'll tell ya, there were no government dollars going to fund our conference, unlike I'm sure all the other La De Dah seminars.

Unless, of course, you count accelerated capital cost write-offs and resource depletion allowances. Oh yeah. And royalty holidays. We love them royalty holidays!

They make life's journey stress free every time.

Oh, you wish you were at the lah-di-dah stress seminars. But no, you were at the pillage and plunder our resources seminar, down the hall. And we paid for that conference, oh yeah we've ALL paid for those conferences! I see you've posted the edited picture with no credit for the editor. I guess we're even if I remember the Rapier Motorcycles video.........

Yes, credit where credit is due. Thanks for the "brighten" suggestion, Gord.

And yes, that is the very same Gord of the GTripe Channel on YouTube.
