But at the same time, can you blame some for not wanting to go? Whose going to pay them to move? What about families? People who have lived here all their lives? We might as well just close up shop down here, make everyone move and not let them back in .
Slowly its happening, but we still incent people to stay and be underutilized.

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to move ... I don't want to move anywhere else ... in Canada anyways. But it's not about what they want. It's about what is best for the country.

As for who will pay them to move ... generally that is subsidized by the employer, and I get moving from families is hard but is it really fair for people from Ontario and Alberta to pay them off so they can be underutilized and hang out with their families? If they don't want to move no matter what, fine, but don't encourage them to stay by artificially propping them up.
