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.

You and thousands of others.
Having a job and being able to provide for your family might be the sacrifice people have to make these days. I realize that family and friends being close is nice, but I re-located due to work issues as well.
Perhaps the Alberta government needs to work with the Federal government to create a bigger incentive for people to move to Alberta. Help cover moving expenses, etc, etc. It might cost some money, but in the long run having someone employed is better than having them collect EI.
