A little off-topic, but I’ve seen 2 articles in the past day about the tribulations of Newfie oil patch workers trying to get home. Wouldn’t it be nice if all the money and resources the provincial gov’t is expending to resurrect the sector resulted in jobs for Albertans, and income tax revenue back into this province?
Why are these companies still employing out-of-province workers when (I have to assume) thousands of qualified Alberta residents in the sector are unemployed?
