> Ontario is the "California" engine province of Canada

Quick Wikipedia lookup of Canadian provinces by GDP per capita shows Ontario’s at 61k CAD, which precisely matches Canada’s overall

Whereas Alberta’s is 31% higher.




SDP per capital is a poor metric when for years your social service policy was explicitly a one-way bus ticket to Vancouver.


One has oil/gas and the other has money/tech. And I'm not sure per capita is the proper metric if you're looking at funding a country rather than comparing them.


Have you played Mass Effect, used Java or OpenBSD? One has natural resources and money and tech. Different parts of Canada bring different things to the table.


Oil and gas in Alberta is hurting and most of the oil and gas workers I know have left the industry or become unemployed
