Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and VetJobs.com announced this week a
new employment initiative with the Edmonton Economic Development
Corporation in Alberta, Canada that could employ thousands of U.S.
veterans to help build new infrastructure in Canada.
While the initiative had initially been misreported by some media as
an opportunity for U.S. veterans to land jobs on the Canada-side of the
Keystone XL pipeline – a project delayed in America by the Obama
administration – many veterans were already on the short list for those
potential jobs and could be hired if (or when) the pipeline is
approved.
In the meantime, there is an expected shortfall of 114,000 jobs in
Alberta over the next decade, and the arrangement among the VFW,
VetJobs.com, and the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation should
help to place thousands of Americans into those positions.

Canada has a very sound economic system.The Prime Minister attempted to give advice to Obama early in his administration,but that advice fell on deaf ears.Since then ,for reasons no sane person can comprehend,Obama has rejected any and all efforts made by Canada to help the US.The pipeline is just one of many examples.Maybe he won't find a way to block Americans from getting employment in Canada,but I'm sure he'll try.
