Oh man. Sorry guys....that really sucks My job relies entirely upon government funding and private donations, so who knows. Unfortunately, underage sexual exploitation doesn't stop, despite an economic slump; fortunately, that means I probably will get to keep my job.

I just heard on the news yesterday that Calgary has the best economy in the World. (First Canada, then Calgary, is the best in Canada).

I know you BC boys dont really focus on the oilfield do ya? Oilfield basically runs the alberta economy. A falling oilfield means a falling economy. Look at southern Alberta compared to northern alberta.

Talisman seems to be in a better position then some other companies who set their budget with oil at $40, $50, and even $60 a barrel. The company set our budget at approximately $30 a barrel, and have recently started redeploying and moving into unconventional drilling. While we are well positioned, and are not currently laying off anyone, we are re-deploying people to different projects. Although right now we are experiencing a hiring freeze, and I suspect if the economy worsens, then the company will begin layoffs.

Sorry guys about having been handed your pick slips, I hope things perk up and you make it through this unscathed. It sucks because its hard on everyone.

Funny, that's what our local politicians are saying about Vancouver as well

If people would just stop watching the news there would be no economic meltdown! Its all caused by media hype.
