Also, someone had pointed out people are still moving to Calgary in way larger numbers than the people who are leaving.

Actually, third quarter 2007, Alberta had negative interprovincial migration according to a recent Statistics Canada news release.

"On the other hand, the main engine of Alberta's demographic growth—interprovincial migration—has lost some of its importance. Alberta, which has led the provinces in population growth for the last few years, has started to lose more people to other regions than it has received.

Over the third quarter, Alberta recorded a net interprovincial migration outflow estimated at 3,300 people. The last time the province recorded a net outflow to other jurisdictions occurred in the fourth quarter of 1994."
