Just like crappy foreign parts>>>>I just heard a news cast stat ing (I think) 63,000 people in the US lost their jobs in Feb,,, last summer I caught part of a documenary showing Americans in poverty. We have had Chineese & of course lots of other workers here cause of the boom (which is leveling off) One Chineese contractor had a structure fall down causing death/s?? lots of these workers cant read or speak english. Oil companies have been bringing workers from all over,,, I have yet to meet an American or hear of any working here allthough they probably are... My point is (a rant sorry) why cant our leaders work more closely & keep people working on this continent.We are like brothers. If they are then I appologise & will stop ranting. If anyone knows people that are hurting (layed off or whatever) suggest to them to check out Alberta. It has slowed down but there is still a demand for skilled trades,, equipment operators, welders, drivers ,cooks etc etc etc, maybe even PW drivers LOL (got the content in.) I would be willing to help anyone who wants to work getting them steered in the right direction & am pretty sure anyone on this forum would do the same, George
