Irving Wins Huge Contract for Nova Scotia

Irving Ship Builders has won a massive $25 billion (!) dollar contract with the Federal Government of Canada to build a large variety of military and non-military vessels. This contract is going to go for about 30 years and will bring in about 800 million dollars to Nova Scotia EACH YEAR and create at least 8,000 to 15,000 jobs. The net result is a huge positive for this dwindling province's population and could spark a re-emergence of people coming back to their homes.

As the draw to go back east increases, you'll see the demand for employees in the west also increase. At which I will keep a cautious eye. Maybe one day we'll return back to Alberta - Calgary specifically. You never know !
