Albertas Bevölkerung könnte bereits 2038 die von British Columbia übertreffen: StatsCan | CBC-Nachrichten

I work in a very blue collar job in Ontario and I know of a lot of guys who are seriously interested in moving to Alberta with some already actively in the planning stage. No idea how they would vote in a referendum if they were eligible but most of them are disillusioned with Canada. I imagine it’s similar in many other job sites.

Yeah, I don’t think so. Nobody is going to be moving to Alberta en masse as the price of oil craters after oil demand peaks.

Alberta is bound set and determined to base their entire economy around oil, and it’s going to be a rough place when why that’s a mistake becomes apparent.

A lot can happen in the interim, but it will be interesting to see how places like the GTA and GVA choke themselves out with bad policy. Not that the rest of Canada’s cities are much better, but places like Edmonton are getting their act together and liberalizing planning, allowing suites by right, etc. There might come an inflection point where so many people avoid Vancouver and Toronto that they finally get their shit together, or so many people avoid Vancouver and Toronto that it no longer matters that they get their shit together (unlikely, but possible).

Yea because average people could actually afford to buy a home one the ground compared to BC. When you don’t allow cities to expand outwards, you get high housing costs.
