Northern Alberta is rife with Maritimers. I thought they were such a gregarious, generous people but apparently not. I guess if they want their own unqualified people to put in a liquiefied natural gas plant so be it. I was under the impression that these were pretty dangerous. You`d think they`d want them done right now wouldn`t you

SO it's ok for maritimers to come over to Alberta by the hundreds and steal our jobs but when we go over there for work we're the Jerks. Stop taking our jobs and maybe we'll stop taking yours

Well I was there I was one of those worker "trapped" in my hotel room looking out my windows & having people flip me the bird , call me a scab & calling me outside,not being able to leave the hotel. I was not told of the situation in NB, One might say should have not gone b/c I should have know better. maybe we were naive but i figured I AM CANADIAN! I should be able to work anywhere in my country just like you!!, Now I have many friends from NB,PEI NFLD NS,who work on our side of the country, Never have I crowded there hotel rooms,never have I surrounded there buses shouting profanity's, Never have I made Another workers Wife CRY!!,when we finally got a police escort off the bus guys where in my face pushing & yelling,(which I can handle) BUY YOU have NO idea how hard it is to watch people yelling at your wife calling her names , and you can't do anything about IT. I WILL still treat my maritime friends with respect.

this is funny, the NB people and Alberta people are fighting each other, calling each other job stealers?

don't forget the CIC, Immigration Dept. of Canada is currently still getting 250,000. foreign people to immigrate to Canada. that is totally senseless, trecherous and stupid. almost like a traitor department. traitor to the immigrants too, because when they get here, they can't get jobs and must face a hostile society around them.

what is the total population of Fredericton or Saint John?

the immigration population Canada's federal government gets in each year from foreign countries all over the world, is many times those of the whole Saint John and Fredericton.

why don't you Maritimers go protest the CIC, immigration dept.?

that must be a much better idea than protesting some Alberta men, who are your countrymen!

don't forget besides the 250,000. formal legal lawful immigrants. there are many more Work Permits issued to foreigner from all over the world.

how many Work Permit holders out there? i don't know.

how many false refugee claimers?

how many false foreign students who come here pretending to study but actually do other things?

how many foreign students finally get to stay after finishing their school?

don't fight your countrymen, fight the Immigration Department!

i mean, 250,000. EACH YEAR, which means 1,250,000. new immigrants from all over the world in 5 years. what is the total population of New Brunswick? below one million right.

which means, the Mass Immigration of Canada is creating more than ONE NEW PROVINCE in each 5 years.

plus the numerous Work Permits, refugees, illegals, foreign Students turning residents, this number may well double.

which means, in each 5 years term, Canada is creating more than 2 brand new provinces.

how can you sustain that kind of growth?- answer is no. you are not able to sustain that kind of growth.

result, so many people are suffering and not happy, including a big part of the immigrants themselves, especially the highly educated ones, if not all.
