Grocery store cashiers (Safeway) are making almost $20/hour. Even Mickey D's is paying $11/hr to flip burgers. The construction industry is screaming for people - even helpers are making big bucks. Housing is more expensive than in NB but we're paying 80 cents a litre for gas and there's no provincial sales tax. What I like about Edmonton is all kinds of services you can't get at home - including great clubs, concerts, shows, etc. 'Course we have snow here at the moment and it's colder than a witches heart, but hey, it's gonna be cold pretty much everywhere in Canada soon anyway and the Jasper ski hills are only a couple of hours away. Start that sale man! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22662330.post-1162431394569935562006-11-01T21:36:00.000-04:002006-11-01T21:36:00.000-04:00Why wouldn't the USA go for a labour mobility agre...<I>Why wouldn't the USA go for a labour mobility agreement?</I><BR/><BR/>For one thing, becuase they can't think of a good reason to do one for us but not Mexico at the same time.

Surely there is as much animosity between New Zealand and Australia as there is between the USA and Canada.<BR/><BR/>I don't think anybody commutes between the Maritimes and Alberta every two weeks! But I could be wrong. Anyway, commuting isn't an option in my profession.Altavistagooglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301901043837306524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22662330.post-1162427635396624122006-11-01T20:33:00.000-04:002006-11-01T20:33:00.000-04:00So whats your solution to your problem?The America...So whats your solution to your problem?<BR/><BR/>The Americans are not going to do a EU style labour mobility agreement.
