Just in case someone gets the wrong impression, Canada has no problems economically, at least that are inherent to Canada. It is business as usual. What'problems' it has is due to being a major trade partner with the US.

This means that as the US economy winds down, the manufacturing base in Ontario and Quebec suffers through loss of jobs because they are dependent on exports to the States.

It is not just the oil based economy in Alberta that is booming.

Most mining and related industries are also in boom state particularly in central Ontario ( North Bay, Thunder Bay to Timmins triangle ). Ever noticed that it takes a long time to have assays analysed or difficulties in finding a drill crew?
