Rising Dollar is Good News in Alberta

Economist Dr. Frank Atkins says that Ontario and Quebec will be the hardest hit from the government's failure to alter interest rates in order to match the rising Canadian dollar. Maunfacturing, tourism, hospitalty and gaming are among some of the industries that should be the most concerned by this oversight. Atkins suggests that oil & gas exporting is what will keep Alberta afloat and not as affected as the rest of Canada.
