TORONTO — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall's message to go west is getting a big response in Ontario.
Thousands of desperate job seekers lined up at a job fair in Toronto yesterday to see what Saskatchewan has to offer.
On top of jobs, Saskatchewan is also offering a tuition rebate program to recent graduates from out-of-province.
Under the plan, some graduates can receive up to $20,000 in tax rebates over seven years.
The Prairie politicians have been accused of poaching workers but won't apologize for their efforts.
They say for decades, people from Saskatchewan moved to other parts of Canada -- especially Ontario -- and now it is the other way around.
