Smiths announcement today changes nothing.
She did not ban American companies, she directed cabinet to change government procurement to βprioritizeβAB and CA companies.
This is not a ban, this is a recommendation. One I doubt they will follow. #ucp #ableg #alberta

So why not have in house electricians? Surely seems like something useful for a municipality to employ. Iβm sure thereβs enough work between all the various municipal facilities.

Anyone have thoughts about keeping a spreadsheet to update the tenders after the award date with the amount tendered? Might provide an avenue to track the total dollar spend of wasteful spending.

Not at the moment. I have dealt with government tenders for work over the last 5 years, and have decided to bring extra attention to them. Especially since to the untrained eye, they can look fairly innocuous.
