And Albertans should be applauded for working hard and harvesting that gold mine? All's fair I guess. But I mean, those potato farmers out in PEI work just as hard as oil patch workers only they can't sell their potatoes for $50 a kilo.

Every person I know in PEI (admittantly only 5 of them) work during the summer and ride the pogey train in the winter ... because they can. 5 Isn't representative, I know, but I would surprise me if any other province comes close to Alberta in terms of hours worked per able person, and it would blow the he// out of me if PEI lead the country. There are hard working people everywhere, but let's face it, some people think that it is their right to simply sit on UI if the need arises.
