Thread regarding Imperial Oil Limited layoffs

Re: "I don’t think the government knows how bad the tailings pond at Kearl leaks. It’s bad enough that the ground in the plant foot print is saturated at 3 feet of depth, which has caused the fire water system and other underground utilities to heave every spring. Not to mention the whole Tree Planting Day 2021 to try and shore up the sides of the di-e."

There is an obligation to report such issues to the Alberta EDGE line at 780-422-9600 or 1-800-272-9600, or alternatively the AER line at 1-800-222-6514. If you are registered with APEGA, all the more reason to report this.

If Norway can't protect their citizens, Canada sure as he-l won't.

They love Indians. They'll probably get a kickback and don't care.

@c4
That is totally absurd. Go invest and build your own company and hire whoever you want to hire. But when on EM/ IOL operation, you are as entitled to a job as the ones NSIed over the years or laid off during 2014-2016 and 2020.
There is no entitlement, this is business friendly Alberta where unions don't get to interfere when they want to.
And yeah, the oil belongs to Wood Buffalo not Alberta and extracted using EM/IOL equipment not yours. Workers don't get to interfere with private companies, this isn't a crown corporation.
Go educate yourself, read the book "The world is flat."

This is what imperial is in for ;

It should be Alberta first hiring and retention , then the rest of mainland Canada, then Newfies. Frankly it's should be Alberta only, so the taxes and spending stays in Alberta.

A reporter from The Narwhal posted their contact info in the thread titled “Edmonton”, if you’d like to contact them as well.

@a7 the environmental minister of Canada might like that info

Any Small Contribution Will Help
We, in Canada, are a relatively small country. We can’t compete with nations that have 300–400 million college graduates willing to work for just a meal a day.
When companies like ours begin offshoring jobs, it sets a precedent, a trend that other smaller companies are forced to follow just to survive. This means that even if you find another job today, the same pattern will repeat there too. Eventually, more people will be laid off, again and again.
If this continues, our children — the next generation — will have no jobs left to do. Without a healthy balance between blue-collar and white-collar jobs, society itself will face collapse.
Any small contribution can help us preserve local jobs, protect our communities, and secure a sustainable future for everyone.

The unfortunate reality is that a substantial majority of people in this province and country want this. Of those laid off how many even still identify as being idealogically aligned. The side that you seem to be advocating for has been successfully made into a straw man.

If you look at the XOM careers page there’s currently 400 openings. Of those 400, 205 of them are for India! Is that crazy or what??!!

Which is interesting that you want trees for slope stability but you also don't want root systems which contribute to hydraulic conductivity and resulting piping failures.

Sounds like a trade off.

I don’t think the government knows how bad the tailings pond at Kearl leaks. It’s bad enough that the ground in the plant foot print is saturated at 3 feet of depth, which has caused the fire water system and other underground utilities to heave every spring. Not to mention the whole Tree Planting Day 2021 to try and shore up the sides of the dy-e.

Imperial employees and ex employees are also protected as whilstleblowers to the regulators.

The company has lots of skeletons in their closet.
AER, ABSA, CRA, APEGGA, Securities Regulators, Environment Canada, the superintendent of pensions, etc all have means to make complaints, including anonomously.
