The politician is Avi Lewis, leader of the (federal) NDP, and it's a good call. Nuking the Bioware studio in Edmonton is a major blow to a blossoming industry in Alberta that has been building around their success for the last 30 years.
Alberta needs more than oil and gas, and helping when EA's decision threatens to ruin 30 years of game dev industry growth here overnight is how we ensure that can happen. There is undoubtedly people that Bioware attracted to computer science and software development attending the U of A, Grant MacEwen, and other tech schools in Edmonton today who were planning to, or hoping to stay here for their career. They're in class wondering WTF just happened and assuming they'll have to leave Alberta to follow the industry... Vancouver and Montreal are calling to them.
We should show them we give a fuck about what's been built here. That's a pipeline worth paying into, imho.
