I heard some like 10-20 thousand people were laid off it was pretty bad. I was long gone. Money there is amazing, getting paid 24 baseline to do the most menial kinds of work. Its all about priorities I guess. My oldest brother is up there right now in Alberta working as a city firefighter, his wife a nurse. They made sacrifices for their daughters.
