Confidential cables from the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia released recently by WikiLeaks confirm what others have long suspected: OPEC’s kingpin producer, Saudi Arabia, has little more to give. Where is investment ramping up? In stable Western Canada of course!
Alberta is set to rocket when it comes to an interprovincial migration report from ATB financial.

An article about market forecasts, it's also interesting to note that this expert stays away from REITs, which favours investments like those offered by Prestigious Properties.
Ultimately, the oilsands will continue to be attractive for entities wanting to amass large oil resource in an economically and politically safe environment, as Canada arguably has a strong combination of these attributes relative to other jurisdictions.
