So, Vancouver has no Stock Exchange now. Not surprising. But my rhetorical question is really, WHAT is our economic base here, and HOW do we ramp it up? Calgary has overtaken us in the number of head offices, due to its centre of the oil industry, but what does Vancouver potentially have that will give it some real economic punch? 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...
