Theirs nothing like burning cities across the waters to spur military expenditures. Guess where most of the wealth will go. Where are the roads the bridges the hospitals the factories the farms. Why do we need expensive weapons of war? Who will we attack to pay for them?

We need them as a hole card just in case the global warming truthers are right and the NWP opens up for shipping.

The is just an insurance expenditure so we don't lose the roads, bridges, hospitals, factories and farms. :smile:

These are unionized trades people, so I'm doubting the pay would be
much less, and those living/working away from home are paying a
rent/mortgage at home....and a rent where they're working, along
with utility bills, etc...

That's kind of my point. Even if they come home to a slightly lesser paying job, it will all probably work out to much the same with the benefit of being home with the family.

I don't know when those charts were made. I do know it's been on the news and in our papers for weeks now. I'm sure Kreskin and Taxslave have heard the same news as I have.

Anyway, yes...jobs coming out'a their arse's in Halifax, and more to be
had in Vancouver through the same agreement. Again, this will leave a
real labour/skilled trades shortage in Alberta & Saskatchewan. This will
be a real crunch out here, and bodies will be needed in a real hurry.

Anyone have any idea's as to where more people for the Saskatchewan
& Alberta job markets can come from? Me....I can't work anymore than
I already am, as if I stated just how many hours a month I put in already,
it would sound like fiction. I currently work about 6 weeks a month, and
still take my weekends & stat-holidays off most of the time so I don't burn
out. I can't work any more than I already do.

Saskatchewan currently has the lowest unemployment rate in Canada.

Saskatchewan continues to lead nation with lowest unemployment rate

I'm still confused that it's as high (the unemployment rate) as it is in this
province also. There is work here for others that's either skilled or willing
on top of those already out here that aren't working for whatever reasons.

I think you're right Ron, the oil and gas sector will be looking at low rates of retention. Thirty years of good work at home? Hard to say no to that. I guess we'll have to get accustomed to those Albertans whining about someone else now.

We don't whine about the Maritimers that come here. We whine about the Maritimers that stay home and whine because they don't have jobs.
