Part of the trouble IMO is that Canada is in a situation that is new for many people. The globalized economy assumes that there is a mobile work force, but it ignores the human aspect of it.
Personally, I am lucky in a way that I have been transient pretty much my whole life barely stringing 5 straight years in any one place. With no ties to a community, I have always been ready to go where ever the work is, but I also understand how this is not for everyone.
It's easier in places where there are higher population densities and going to where the work is might only be a short move, but in Canada it often means not seeing people for a long time and losing touch.
I find it sad, but this is the world we are building for ourselves.
