Filed in archive Economic Outlook on March 15, 2007
John Murney says that concentration of growth in Canadian cities will further erode the "influence and collective strength of rural Canada." What do you think?

I say this spells an opportunity for rural Canadian businesses, build on your strength's, start with what you have - community values. Make babies, encourage immigration, and start a business.
Whether you are in business in an urban, suburban or rural setting look for the opportunities. Sell Alberta what they need to cope with growth.
