This is common place in the northern Canada. The companies that hire workers send people to work camps when they are working. Some people elect to stay in camp the whole year round. You eat company food, watch company TV and sometimes smoke company dope.

I lived in a house with 5 other people that I was working with (doing masonry) for a couple months. It is indeed disorienting to be kicked out of your place of work and be told you have a week to GTFO. It really helps to have some money saved up just for that situation.

It strikes me that we increasingly look to cloning a certain animal for a particular purpose. If were were to extrapolate that into the future, what is to prevent us from cloning a particular person, in this case retired Gen. Rick Hillier, because they show a desired aptitude, and would that be beneficial for society at large.
That, and I couldn't think of a comment good enough to be modded insightful. :-
