$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

For the life of me I still cannot get over the amount of money in this province. Suncor, one of the big players here is spending $160,000,000 building the camp to house the men in for its next big project 'Voyageur'. On top of that they are spending almost a billion dollars upgrading the highway and building an interchange in front of their plant to cut down on the fatal accidents. They will be handing this over to the province when they are done. Alberta just seems to be oozing at the seems with cash.

I thought that I would be off last weekend, but they asked me to work it. Now I will be off this weekend because I will have worked 18 days straight and that is all PCL will let you work on this job. But I am here to pick up that oozing cash, so I am okay with it all.

I heard today that PCL picked up the second phase of the project, so now they are scrambling trying to get more men. There was talk of layoffs starting in June, but now they are hiring again. Go figure.
