Considering Alberta is loosing at least 500 jobs a week partly because of Saudi Arabia I think the plant should be moved here.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Saudi's are deplorable and deserve to be bombed into the stone age more than Iran, for their human rights issues, womens rights issues, and overall circa-1200A.D policies and view on the word.
But lets at least get our facts right. From the article
"The transaction will support 3,000 jobs in Canada for nearly 15 years – many of them in the London area."
500 employees outputting $15B over 15 years is about $2,000,000 of reatil value output per employee per year. Those must be some skilled machine operators and assembly line operators.
