Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands

A sensitive treatment of several hot button issues, that manages to be an intimate, honest portrait of a time in a young person's life as well. 
It grazes the edges of personal experience: moving away from home to find work (and in my case, education), the alienation of temporarily living in Alberta, the crushing weight of student loan debt, the string of shitty jobs mixed with nice but low hours/low paying jobs that makes up one's post-grad twenties.
 It also delves deeper into oil sands industry and east coast life, aspects of Canada that someone who was born and raised in BC is not naturally as familiar with. 
Takes the time and space to illustrate the insidious nature of sexual harrassment in the workplace - how a close knit or close circle culture and community in a company or industry could make a person feel there were no good reporting options left - how many women prior to (and possibly after) Me Too felt there was no recourse, no possibility of management taking their side, to make big enough changes to make a difference.
The afterword by the artist/author is a must read.
