The People of Alberta own the Oil Sands.
No one is going Edmonton !
Provincial Legislation will be passed within the year to prohibit Outsourcing of jobs that are related to the Oil Sands Industry. So not only will the large majority of the 900 jobs not go to BTC . BTC will lose their jobs which will be brought back to Alberta.
We own the product … Exxon.
You Don’t !
We need Companies that Put Alberta First. Not Companies like yours and Tim Hortons who displace Albertans from their jobs with foreign workers.
So when your Oil Leases come up for renewal, your Camp permits require approval don’t think they can’t be rejected.
Like you rejected 900 Albertans and their families.

Albertans own the oil sands, true. But the people making the decisions for Albertans care more about IOL than about Albertans.
Albertans don't own anything, don't kid yourself.
Canadians would benefit more from their natural resource by having Indians develop them for cheap.
@b1 this 100%. Twenty years with imperial and I never had to stamp a single thing ever. What nonsense. The mining data (economic modelling inputs back to original decision, operational productivity reporting, AHS reporting - not the root subsurface data) at Kearl is riddled with intentional financial fraud that would get both companies removed from the stock exchanges were it known. They keep changing the mining leaders as soon as they get close to smart enough to being able to figure some of it out. The ra-e and pillage of Kearl is the single greatest financial fraud ever perpetrated by IOL/XOM not to mention a massive loss to Albertans. The most senior decision makers know it and are in on it. Watch the calls to the tip line tick up as those who’ve until now chosen their jobs to protect their families’ livelihoods over reporting finally leave and make the call.
@b5
How is that relevant ?
Go look at CNOOC

Does someone want to tell this guy that 'Edmonton' is the capital of Alberta, Canada?
@b1 if that is the case, then field operations related positions will be eliminated very soon…
@am APEGA could be harsher in their audits. If they start auditing our subsurface deliverables and mandating they be stamped by a P.Eng then you automatically raise the middle finger to the incompetent clowns at BTC and the entitled goofs at Houston.
@ae APEGA will definely not to step up….
Canada over the last ~10 years is basically operating only for the purpose of exporting natural resources to be refined/fabricated into end products, and sold back to Canadians. It seems the powers that be are complicit in this. If we had a government that truly cared they would either increase the royalty fees or force the companies exporting said natural resources to keep all required personnel employed within said province.
@ae write to your MLA, MP and so. Call them. Show up to their office. All is publicly available, just take the leap. Many are already on top of it and you should too.
This is more than just about a job. It’s about your patriotic duty to protect the interests of this country. These corporate decisions are done and dusted but action now can spare further destruction of other Canadian jobs.
How do we get the message out to the government about the truth of the situation? This isn’t an efficiency game…. Jobs are being ported to Houston and Bangalore. Canadian natural resources are being used to secure Indian and American jobs at the expense of Canadian jobs.
APEGA needs to step in. The government needs to step in - Canadians must be guaranteed as first choice when developing Canadian resources. American replacements at Houston will be paid more than the Canadian equivalents. IOL will essentially pay a foreign person more money to get the same task done that Canadian was doing cheaper earlier.
Some Federal ministers will express regrets at the layoffs and then go lobby to send more aid to Gaza and Ukraine. Do you really think anyone cares? Canadian jobs have been regularly ported overseas for the past 20 years. Temporary foreign workers have replaced Canadians and no one is protesting the rot. Elbows up cowards.
I wish. Carney doesn’t care. PP doesn’t care.
UPC does not care. D Smith won’t do anything. She’s in the pockets of rich corporations.
No political party cares, especially maybe the NDP. But they have their bigger problems.
If people started boycotting Esso gas stations and picketing outside of them then maybe people would care.
They will move headquarter and factories to somewhere else on this planet with resources and populations…..
None of that will happen
