00:00:00.000 This next story won't come to a surprise for those of us that are living here but it looks like
00:00:04.020 everyone wants to live in Alberta. A new report from the Alberta Treasury Board suggests that
00:00:08.840 Alberta is increasingly a desirable destination for Canadians struggling under a cost of living
00:00:13.580 crisis. The report said that inter-provincial immigration to Alberta has not been this high
00:00:17.920 since 2014. That's the last time oil prices were over $100 per barrel. This story hits home for me
00:00:24.240 because I was one of the people that moved to Alberta in the second quarter from Ontario.
00:00:27.620 I know some of you told me at the time that I was another Ontario plant but by and large people
00:00:32.460 have been very friendly since I've been here and I think that's the experience for most newcomers.
00:00:37.040 Ontario meanwhile lost the largest number of people to inter-provincial immigration
00:00:40.960 and contributed the most number of new Alberta residents. I wonder why.
