Exodus causes shortages everywhere

The local papers are full of ads for jobs in Alberta, yet there are plenty of jobs here in Nova Scotia. From Cape Breton to Yarmouth there's a severe shortage of labour. So severe, in fact, that people are waiting months for electricians, plumbers, gas fitters, and even retail help. The new Dartmouth Crossing retail complex is expected to need to 15000 employees. The problem is there aren't 15000 people available to take the jobs. Nova Scotia has a severe immigration problem. There aren't enough people coming into the province to fill the need, and there are thousands of people moving out west to Alberta to fill the jobs there. What to do?
