A fair amount of School districts in the north, and some in the prairies went back to gassers for a bit. As they didn't have dozer sheds or hangars to store all rigs inside during the winter, and "they" deemed it more economical, efficient, and reliable to have a fleet of gassers. I suspect it was also not a coincidence that this happened a few years before AB NDP when the energy sector had sucked up the vast majority of the diesel mechs with any med-heavy experience.
