That’s just because after six months of “financial assistance” you’d be wealthy! Also, in Alberta if you want a job, you just walk in, ask to speak to the manager, and give them a firm hand-job. /s

It's disturbing how many people think this is still how things work. Hell, I've met company owners that don't seem to even know how their own HR processes work.

I guess Danielle Smith hates oilfield workers. Or she'll ask Imperial and Suncor politely to keep bust cycles to under 6 months.
