From ctv.ca:

Video game publisher Electronic Arts says its third-quarter loss widened because of a slew of charges and weak holiday sales which the CEO called “a clear disappointment.”

The Redwood City, Calif.-based company, which has locations in Canada, also unveiled more cuts, saying it would now lay off a total of 1,100 jobs, or about 11 per cent of the workforce, and close 12 facilities.

…

The company has about 2,500 employees in Canada, about 1,700 of which are in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland, and the rest in Edmonton and Montreal.
