Alberta (Canada, really) should look at bringing in labour from overseas on a temp basis. You can get workers for half the price, and when the shortage is solved send 'em home.
I've been through Asia and this is quite common. In Korea, if you have menial, low paying work for someone, you can get a license to bring in workers from India. It's pretty popular, and according to the government a win win for both sides. The import workers make money and gather skills that would never be available to them in their home country, and the employer has access to an unlimited labour supply (as well as saves money by paying lower wages).
