Alberta is in the middle of another historic population boom and
fingers squarely on the wealth generated by the province's
energy sector are pointing at the reason why. Statistics Canada
numbers show that Alberta is currently growing faster than any
other province and that it's seeing a population boom
unparalleled since the historic boom of 1980. The constant, and
often repetitive, stories of Canadians leaving the Maritimes,
Ontario, Manitoba or Quebec, seeking better fortunes out west
have reached almost mythical proportions. Even more daring still
are the stories of those who go for gold -- or, rather, black
gold -- leaving behind families and careers to try their hands
at some liquid fortune in the wilds of Alberta's north. They
leave everything -- often times children await back home -- in
the hopes that Alberta will provide enough to support them or,
better yet, to bring them all out west. Story continues after
