If people want to live with their families by choice in NS or NFLD, fine, my point ... again, is that they should be financially encouraged, or artificially propped up to do it.

So when the oil eventually runs out in Alberta, you won't be expecting any "prop up" then I take it?

They CANT find jobs.
yet in AB we are screaming for people for all kinds of work. And the transfer program promotes this ongoing disconnect. Get it?
It's not about lazy people, it's about solving a problem in both the east and the west.

Where's the disconnect?
I could counter your 5 people by a tonne. There are tonnes of people here that move out west to work. and then leave their families here b/c that is where there family is and is from. They work year round in Alta, and then make trips back to visit, send money back, etc. There are a tonne of people that do that. Are there people that just go out and work for the summer? yup. Are some of them lazy? Sure, those type of people are in every province. Do some come back because they honestly miss their family, their homes, etc that much? You betcha.
