I was just in Alberta and I can tell you that the locals are pretty in-tune with whats going on there.

Um, shouldn't they be?

I was just in Alberta and I can tell you that the locals are pretty in-tune with whats going on there. You know, they read the local papers and know what's going on in Alberta.

The folks I talked to there said that Alberta is hiring labor from as far away as China and that there has been serious concern over the pace of expansion and work related injuries. Also, Alberta is wise enough to realize that expending 100% of it's own resources for a short-term high yield growth spurt would be short sighted.

Just because you have exactly $250,000 in the bank doesn't mean that you pay $250,000 cash for a house. You don't blow your whole roll like that. Alberta as a province has said over and over again that it is seeking resources to support it's growth. Alberta is hoping for new residents that will now call Alberta home.

The big picture as far as possible Alberta/SLJB relations is not far fetched at all.
