Move West vs. Gentle Island

The long promised jobs of every economic developer from City Hall, Province House and ACOA where nothing to the jobs offered in the magazine insert in the Journal Pioneer - Move West.

Many people here in The Gentle Island are aroused by the life offered in the well designed and good looking magazine, including me.

Work vs. Pleasure or Employment vs. Unemployment, either way the job-tease here from the politicians wilted like the hopes of a room full of plain Jane wallflowers when a hot, smart, and available woman walks in.

Alberta is hotting up while PEI cools or at best stays tepid - as far as employment goes.

In fact the lifestyle ginned by each magazine (MOVE WEST, PEI GUIDE) is an imaginary rendition of an ideal niether place holds - they are both hype. But still, hype is what makes people move. And you can collect EI benefits in PEI from the Alberta job so at least we have that going for us.
