What industries could we xpand on? How could we diversify the economy? (I know the economy is more diversified than before, but for decades, it just relied on primary resource industry). Points to ponder.

Our own provincial oil and gas possibilities are decent. Then there's mining, or the next Microsoft. Mayor Moonbeam would see us as the green energy capital...
