The Rebel's Vancouver team interviewed an oil worker named Bernard Hancock at a Kinder Morgan protest. The interview went viral. Bernard's articulate and passionate defence of Canada’s resource industry really struck a chord, so we decided to continue speaking with him.

"What, you thought this was a wig?” - Bernard, Canada's favourite roughneck on Rig 45
After our interview with Bernard went viral, we found him again to ask about the reaction he received. The feedback was mostly positive, but many accused him of being an actor. So Bernard filmed this short clip of himself hard at work on an oil rig, proving he’s the real thing. Shattering all stereotypes.

I really hope Bernard is right about the industry getting a foothold in the mental quicksands of NDP-Liberalism…how is it possible to get two governments that hate their own people so much?
Brian Palmer…. well said my friend. If most other industries had to work under the microscope that we do in oil and gas, there would be whining galore. Something as simple as moving a piece of equipment down the road, we fall under a whole set of rules that others don’t.
Even sour crude is not bad, it has that important part of any fertilizer in it…sulfur.
Keep up the good work.
Next time these people have a protest, we need to organize a “Protest for the Rest” ; in favour of the oil industry, in favour of pipelines, in favour of immigration with integration ( like we all did!). I wonder if I could get the time off of work? Oh wait I see the problem………
Coming into the public square, using a juvenile handle like and think you have the moral high ground is an excellent display of Lefty psychosis! As we all now know, the Left use a different part of the brain than the rest of us, and it definitely shows! I hope you continue these displays to ensure everyone gets a first-hand look!! Cheers!!
NO?…oh…he was the guy telling us to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps.
Got some advice for him…
One thing about pipelines I have never heard floated is that they get old and inherently fail over time no matter the mitigation programs we put in place as an industry. So do we just NOT replace lines to meet demand and replace old ones? We have THE BEST environmental policies in the world for developing, refining and transmission of this product.
That being said…sweet black crude is just fertilizer…spread it on your lawn or flower bed and see what happens, I dare you! Also for the morons out there who believe the oil sands are leaking into the local rivers…DUH!! Yes they are and have been for many hundreds of thousands of years. It is how we found the sands in the first place)))
Hollywood and it’s cronies…go suck an egg! Talk on your own industry, not one you know absolutely nothing about…get out of my back yard!!!
