I grew up in Northern Alberta so know a little bit about that he's talking about. 'The breakup' refers to spring breakup. There are a lot of rigs and drill sites in northern Alberta that are only accessible during the winter because the roads that get you there are too wet and muddy for big trucks to get there in the summer.
Northern Alberta also has a lot of seasonal workers and this girl's father is one of them. The spring breakup not only means the end of winter, but the end of his relationship because she'll be moving back to the central rockies with her family.
