Alberta Economic Snapshot for Nov. 17, 2012 Troy Media - "The rest of Canada just doesn’t understand the importance of the oil
sands to the economic future of the country; at least that’s the message
from a Deloitte study released this week. According to the report,
“government revenues related to the industry raised close to $22 billion
and provide indispensable support for social programs Canadians value.”
The report goes on to suggest if the social license to develop the oil
sands is revoked there is no ready alternative to these funds. Canadians
from coast to coast need to be aware of the trade-off. Of course there
are other issues at play."
Alberta's Economy the best in Canada in 2011 - "Alberta’s economy grew at the fastest rate among the provinces in 2011, expanding 5.1 per cent compared with an increase of 4.0 per cent in 2010, according to Statistics Canada.
The federal agency reported Monday that exports in the province advanced 9.2 per cent, more than four times their pace in 2010. Consumer spending rose 3.4 per cent, driven by household outlays on durable goods, notably new trucks and used motor vehicles, and services. Business investment was up 7.6 per cent, despite a 5.2 per cent decline in investment in residential housing."

Alberta’s strong net migration, strong full-time employment combined with a low unemployment rate, and continuing low mortgage rates are all contributing to the healthy outlook, said regional economist Lai Sing Louie of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
“The oilsands are Alberta’s ace in the hole — it’s driving our economy,” Louie said at a recent presentation of CMHC’s Alberta economic and housing market outlook."
