Gold Rush Fever
Alberta and its oil have become a modern day gold rush. I just got back from a visit in Nova Sotia and have seen why a house in Alberta is worth $400,000. I was visiting with freinds and while we were sitting after supper a neibour stoped in to see my hosts. He told them in two days he and his family were gone to Alberta to find a better life, he is a licenced carpenter and had a job waiting. They just turned the keys for the house into the bank and left. That sounds like to old tails of people just walking away from everything and heading to the Klondike.
