Err.. umm.. it does? ;) I know it's going a bit more hi-tech and from
checking a few places it appears to have plenty of computer jobs available,
but aside from that I can't think of anything major.
And just think -- if there's no agriculture and cattle, the rodeo goes,
too. Eek! ;)

That's a thought.. alot of the areas in southern Alberta have native

It would certainly make an okay place to do corp research that needs to be
in sub-zero tempratures for too long each year :)
