There are lots ahead of you. That's why fort macmurray is known as newfie west. Not that Cape Breton is newfie, but there are tonnes of easterners coming out here. I've met many and man can they drink. hehe 
Alberta would be well served by doing some recruiting out there.

oh I know there are tonnes! I was in an electronics store just browsing seeing what they had in Calgary. The guys asked if I needed help and through generic chit-chat I mentioned I was from Cape Breton. As soon as I did his eyes light up with cha-ching in them. I told him I was a student travelling, and not to waste his time on me, we chatted for a bit anyway. He mentioned how Cape Bretoners and Newfs are the ones with money, everything cash from the oil feilds. I thought wow that's strange it's the exact opposite in Cape Breton and Newfoundland.
Newfs and Capers are bascially the same thing, but different. I don't really know what the difference is yet. Maybe it's they drink Screech, and we just drink? And we can drink, even the little guys like me (I'm tall but the skinniest person you'll ever meet) and I drink people in my program from Ontario-West under the table, they said I was "hardcore" because I was on a pubcrawl and had to work at 9am the next morning. I was thinking... really? I'm a p*ssy where I'm from
