    sorry... I guess I didn't really read your second paragraph :o

    It frustrates me as a Canadian (much it would you if the situation was reveresed)...my whole point was to say from Pickr's point of view our exportation of oil and importing of gasoline is hurting us just as much as any Middle East policy....

    Here is another frustration point...when Katrina ripped through the Gulf Of Mexico oil prices (and subsequantly gas prices) sky-rocketed...now why the hell should I have to pay more for gas because of hurricane in the south when my nation provides more than enough oil to satisfy it's own consumers....that to me drives me nuts.....like I said build more refineries and take care of your people first then your neighbours next....

    Very good point...Alberta is recruiting in BC to fill jobs out there, I guess they can;t get enough people fast enough...If only I was single I would be there in a second...

    Alberta is not as great as you may think.....yes we have a crazy amount of jobs from the lowly fast food worker to Presidents of large companies.....BUT housing is very very inflated right now....Alberta is running on a thin edge right now...especially Calgary...Calgary unlike other large urban Canadian cities such as Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver bases it's success on a single commodity...and when that commodity drops there are going to be a lot of unemployed and very in debt people.....don't let the success fool you that much....on the flip-side Saskatchewan is posed to become the next Alberta as large oil companies (I am in the business) are buying very large parcels of land.....this will further the worker shortage in Alberta as currently a large portion of the employment force came from Saskatchewan (main reason for the provinces population decline IMHO) which will return as housing is much cheaper....

    Put it this way an average 1200 ft2 house in Saskatoon will run you $180,000 compared to Calgary where it is close to $400,000+....I am one just waiting full of anticipation and hope that there is boom in Saskatchewan...would love to leave Alberta in an instant.....
