I'm sure we can find a butt load of aholes, ooooops I mean excess citizens that we can send up there.
USA is in worse shape. We've got way more on "welfare" of all kinds than y'all in Canada have that are retired.
Thanks anyway, but we are already over-supplied in this area as it is. You keep them and hopefully they will "go to seed" for you....................................

Only if your a card carryin' Liberal............Us normal folk don't screw around with that garbage.................
Pretty clever math ... but sadly there is some truth in it. Locally here the big steel mill is under court protection and there are layoffs and indirect negative consequences for all businesses. I think there are a lot who would dearly love to work if they could get hired or called back. I think we need a new and better wisdom than we've had in the past.
