    I fully agree with you and it’s encouraging to see things like “Alberta Is calling” campaign. But, I wish the federal goverment would be more involved in spreading the immigrants around our vast land. It feels like all they do is set targets and “job done”…

      You mean the radio spots that tell me I can own a house for 400k in Alberta? As much as I want to believe that that’s not complete bullshit, I think it is bullshit and pity everyone who goes through just to come back to wherever they were before.

        You can totally own like a nice 3-bedroom house in a nice area in Winnipeg right now for 400K. My house cost that much and even had a finished basement and is one, a much bigger plot than most houses.

          Up to a few years ago, you could have the 400k 3-bedroom AND a postal code that looks like ‘banana’ as well. BONUS!

          Not now, though. Everyone found out and barely beat the investor scum to snap it all up.

      the federal goverment […] all they do is set targets and “job done”

      But, that’s kinda their job. We have premiers to do the regional work, and usually trust them to do right (sit DOWN, Mr Ford).
