I'm not surprised they folded. Canada is a terrible place for a call center.

"Welcome to the Oshawa, Ontario call center. For English, please press one. For Canadian, please press two. For French Canadian, please die you fucking assholes."

They thought ahead, on that one. They had a call centre in Quebec too, to save a button press on getting to the "please die you fucking assholes" line.

Actually it's kinda nice having them here. A lot of companies in Canada do the old "1 for English, 2 for French" but pressing 1 usually gets you, at best, broken english from another country. If you press 2 for french, odds are you will speak to a Canadian who is bilingual and probably speaks better english than french anyway.
