Is it just me or is every province using the "We are going to draw workers from other provinces" solution to the Labour Shortage?

We have got to start making better solutions to this problem! Every province is saying they are going to draw workers from other provinces! Well it seems to me, no matter how many lines are put in a pond, it never increases the fish in the pond. We are fighting to get people to come to our respective provinces and we are fighting over the same pool of workers. Does this make sense?

If Saskatchewan is putting a campaign to draw people back to Alberta and Alberta is advertising in BC and BC is promoting low taxes to bring in people from Saskatchewan, is this just one big circle with no new options for workers being created?

We need to look at viable alternatives to change this problem.

How about scaled retirement for boomers? 55 - 35 hours per week, 60 - 30 hours per week, 65 - 25 hours per week & 70 - 20 hours per week? Wouldn't this stretch out the impact of the boomers retirment while allowing 15 years of skill transfer to a younger genreation. There would be benefits for both the Boomer who doesn't want to work full time but doesn't want to retire fully as well as helping the the company to not lose valuable workers and skills lost in transition.

And what is amazing, this is 100% implementable now! That is a solution. Jus tmy reading Boom, Bust, Echo and seeing his ideas working.
