That was so full of stupid, its not even funny. Laboring in Fort Mac can be very profitable, as long as you get a camp gig. You dont usually get any more benefits then that, but between the 12 hour days and the 2-3 weeks your away from home working, you can make a good income. $25 an hour is about right on average for a laborer, but unless you are a retard you can usually move up from there fairly quick, and along up your pay rate. Dont forget you will be getting 4 hours OT a day, and no, you will not "lose it all to taxes". I paid 35ish grand in tax last year, definitely didn't lose it all in taxes. None of what I am talking about is rig work either. Get on a rig, you will actually have to bust your ass all day, get on with a major construction company, and you wont.
