Hey Rachel, we already have the highest unemployment in the country and guys like me have been sitting around for months because there's no work on the construction industry and you're busy handing work out to another province. Great.

To be fair...
Their head office is in Ontario but their Western HQ is here in Calgary. And judging by all of the job postings on their website for installers etc. for all over Alberta...the jobs will mostly come from Alberta. Its not like any (or likely very few) of these jobs will be permanent but at least some temp work for some folks who need it.
Personally can't wait to have someone come to my house and change out my lightbulbs and then instruct me on how to properly use said lightbulbs.
