I'm always surprised when someone says this kind of thing. Do you honestly believe that "these regions" don't have enterprising people looking to take advantage of the situation, and "this region" (Alberta) does?
Alberta has it's fair share of enterprising and hardworking people, but it's not like the border is some sort of magic barrier. If we didn't have all that oil in the ground we'd be getting these so-called handouts as well. We aren't special.
