1. You seem to think that these 'handouts' end up in people's pockets. Sorry, it is spent on things like education and health care.
2. A mass migration would only increase transfer payments as even fewer people would remain to fund health care and education in the province they left.
3. What on earth is Alberta going to do with all the people you're suggesting should move here? Where will they live? How will they afford to buy a home? Where will they go to school? What about health care? Infrastructure?
Oh yeah, you're an economist all right. I can see you've really thought this through.
