Yeah, you guys are kinda missing the point. It isn't midless labourers that they are short on. They'll never have trouble finding guys to spin wrenches and lift heavy things, it's the skilled jobs that they are comming up short on. In projects like these, they need huge numbers of welders, pipe fitters, and other jobs, that the average joe isn't qualified, or certified to do. If it was just a matter of having a bunch of high paying jobs that require no skill, there wouldn't be a problem with homeless people in Alberta, that is not the case however.

Unskilled labour aside, I'm sure there are plenty of disgruntled welders in Pakistan that would love the opportunity to come over here and work, even if it was on a temp basis. I'm thinking this idea would apply to more than just Joe wrench slinger.
There's gotta be a few pipefitters and machinists in Iraq kicking around somewhere.... maybe Lanny knows where they are!!
