Provincial Economic Powerhouses
So we can all guess where the most economic growth was in 2006 (hint: Starts with AL ends with BERTA), no surprise there, if the Americans don’t annex it, Alberta could be a member of OPEC by itself.
Who is #2? For those of you who said Ontario, please sit down, and for the rest of you, give up, because it was Nunavut (so it was a trick question, since Nunavut is a Territory). I guess having diamond mines and natural resources doesn’t hurt your economy, now does it?
British Columbia is the #2 province, construction, Olympics and trees are the three key words there.
Again, Canada is doing well, take a bow Canadian Worker!

“British Columbia is the #2 province, construction, Olympics and trees are the three key words there.”
Add fish, oil & gas, agriculture, tourism to that mix. Currently in BC the service sector provides about 80% of the jobs, and 75% of the provincial GDP. See http://www.guidetobceconomy.org/bcs_economy/look_at_job_market.htm

Indeed, apologies for being glib on that, B.C. and Alberta are easily bigger economies than many nations in this world.
The Olympics are going to add to that economy is my guess.
