We don't have to speculate what that would like - just take a look at Manitoba or New Brunswick. You may want ask yourself why, even with the severe downturn in Alberta's economy, there are still more people moving here from those provinces than vice-versa. You may also want to consider why Alberta teachers earn $10-20K a year more than their counterparts in those provinces.
