The political fallout of losing Abitibi’s Stephenville mill was soaked up by the giant Alberta job sponge.
Well, that sponge is now being wrung out by the global economic downturn and the workers are heading back home. They’re heading back home to places like Labrador West where slowdowns and project suspensions are the new norm.
People in Grand Falls might be cheering at the thought they somehow managed to wreak vengeance on Abitibi.
But what are they going to go for a job come March?
It won’t be Fort Mac.
