The spread of the coronavirus has slowed economies worldwide, grounding flights and limiting road travel, resulting in weak oil prices. Canadian energy companies have also suffered from scarce capital due to chronic pipeline congestion and high emissions. Dirk Tolman, chair of a Unifor local representing Suncor workers, said Suncor Chief Executive Mark Little addressed employees and said the company would need to cut expenses because demand and Suncor’s stock had fallen.
