Alberta Update 2017

Alberta's rapid population boom until 2015 helped re-shape the country as it churned out high paying jobs while other provincial economies lagged behind.

Unfortunately, Alberta's economic growth has ground to a halt for the last 2 years with implications for all of Canada. Alberta's population grew at an annual rate of 11.6% between 2011 and 2016, compared to 5% nationally.  Alberta also accounted for more than 25% of Canada's total population's growth during that period, despite accounting for less than 11% of the total populations in 2011.

​

Leading the way were Calgary (14.6%) and Edmonton (13.9%), the two fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country! Alberta added nearly 500,000 residents in the last five years, which is like adding a new city larger than Halifax in a five-year time span. During the boom, Alberta attracted people from across Canada and the world seeking better opportunities. With the per capita GDP nearly $23,000 higher (in 2015) than the national average and a low single-rate income tax, it was appealing for Canadians from regions with less economic opportunity. Of course with the decline of oil prices, that began in 2014, Alberta has taken a real blow. But with the price of oil rebounding and motivated people looking for work, the province may have an opportunity to once again become an engine for job growth and a magnet for workers. Changes in taxation rates have changed the fact that Alberta was a unique low-tax jurisdiction, now they rest in the middle of the pack.  However, as we leave the recession behind, the province could help to accelerate its recovery by restoring Alberta's pro-growth tax policies of the past. If this happens immediately remains to be seen but future governments may restore these policies. Alberta definitely has the potential to become the driving force again in Canada and will offer all the benefits to its citizens that go with it.
