Everywhere, what do you do? Lots of jobs in Vancouver.

Any leads on programming jobs? My brother is currently looking for work in the Vancouver area in that field.

I'm still trying to figure out house prices and what going to happen to the people who have 30yr mortgages on $640K, 1700sqft when it all comes crashing down.

It happened in vancouver before. People had paid off $100,000 of their $1,000,000 mortgage and the values crashed and their houses were only worth $700,000. There were a lot of people who just walked away.

What some ppl in Calgary did during the 80's boom,was to second morgage their house,then when everything crashed they had cash.Then declared bankrupsy( that is very bad spelling sorry) and walked away from everything with money in their pockets.

Unemployment in Manitoba is at an all-time low. Apparently there's a huge labour force shortage because everyone has moved to Alberta (certainly not because empolyment opportunities are great here...). This seems to have been a trend for about a decade; I'm quite surprised to hear that Alberta is having problems too.

Screw it, I'm joining the military.
