None of them claimed they were paying the freight for the rest of us. Seems ontario generally pushes manufacturing with how much it used to be an economic driver.

Out east, manufacturing is the big dog. AB is oil. BC its real estate and resources. Manitoba has busses and mosquitoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Riprock Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 2 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: you should have had a career in propaganda. BC doesn't collect remotely enough via AB royalties to effect any of that in a meaningful way. BTW, for 2017 BC GDP was 13.2% of Canada's total, AB was 15.53. You aren't carrying $&!#. BC collects zero royalties, as it should be. It is Canadian government that is losing billions of potential revenues because we have missed out on what could have been a burgeoning economic boom. Now not only have we missed out, we are going to start to pay, all because we cant stand up to foreign lobbyists. I've never said anything about anyone carrying anything. Get that fact straight at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact- Alberta is the economic driver of Canada. Do your homework. Sorry but no. There is only one province that is the economic driver of Canada, who's surplus or recession single-handedly sends the entire country into green or red: Ontario. The end. The political and economic landscape of Canada is kind of similar to that of the size differentials in the solar system, minus Neptune and Uranus. Ontario = Jupiter, Quebec = Saturn. Every other damn province or territory = a chunk of rock named Mars, Earth, Venus or Mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberta in 25 years when the dirty bitumen is gone will be a " Have Not " province like the newfies....... Alberta will be the West Coast Newfies....... In 25 years Alberta will have taken control of the west coast since the present custodians have been such miserable failures at taking care of it. The salmon are threatened and all you do is shake your fist at passing clouds and scream it's the fault of all that tar sands oil that's on the way. Do something.

canuckistani Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just now, Ryan Strome said: Oh no I do. Ontario has a very large population and huge taxes. Anyone who knows basic economics, should know that the province that represents 42% of Canada's economy, with the next province being less than half that, is the driver of Canadian economy.

Our currency is known as a petro currency. Do you know why? There is speculation now that it may no longer be a petro currency since we have abdicated our throne as an energy super power.

We are a resource super-power, like Australia. Petro-currency is used not just for energy exporters but also resource exporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because in the entire resource export sector, oil is a decent chunk of it and its the one that fluctuates the most. If your equation has 5 variables, your answer's fluctionals will correlate with 1 variable fluctuating, even if its not the main component, provided all others stay the same. First time i've ever heard the term 'energy super power' being applied to Canada. There are only two- Russia and Saudi Arabia. rest are small pittance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The economy of Canada is a highly developed mixed economy with 10th largest GDP by nominal and 16th largest GDP by PPP in the world. As with other developed nations, the country's economy is dominated by the service industry, which employs about three quarters of Canadians.[21] Canada has the fourth highest total estimated value of natural resources, valued at US$33.2 trillion in 2016.[22] It has the world's third largest proven petroleum reserves and is the fourth largest exporter of petroleum. It is also the fourth largest exporter of natural gas.
