It's because our society and social programs have made life to comfortable in Canada. Alberta and Sask have enough job vacancies to hire all the unemployed in Eastern Canada, but most of those people will not relocate here to make a better life.

I'm not sure it is fair to directly compare someone living in a 3rd world nation who are politically, economically or religiously persecuted with someone living in a different province.
It is one thing to have nothing and be willing to relocate to a better life. It is entirely different when you have a whole social and family network. Everyone needs a job, but the job shouldn't be more important than everything else. And I am someone who moved from eastern Canada.
