The thing is in the media stagnant means down to sane levels from the "adding the population of Red Deer" levels we were at before
I saw one chart after the media started reporting about everyone going back to Saskabush and that that was terrible for our economy, and when you looked at the numbers sure the number of people going from Alberta to Sask increased, but the number the other way was still high enough that the net increase was still positive, and the inmigration from other provinces had increased too.
