What happened to the good old days where any unskilled shmoe from across Canada could come to Alberta and get payed well for just showing up with a pulse. This is what happens when the Alberta Booms go Bust, and they always eventually go Bust. My friends construction trade Union says that there are now more unemployed in their union than employed. It has not been like this for years. Again, unfortunately Alberta cannot control their Booms and have long term sustained growth. Instead they let the thing go ballistic and than the bottom falls out and everyone feels the pain. Very typical.
