  • The plunge in oil prices has changed the economic outlook greatly among the provinces.
  • Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador will see their economies contract this year as capital expenditures in the oil-rich provinces take a big hit.
  • Saskatchewan’s economy is also being hit hard by the slump in oil prices and will barely grow over the near term.
  • A falling loonie and solid growth south of the border will be a bonanza for Ontario and other manufacturing-dependent provinces.
  • Rising public debt and continued fiscal deficits will remain a challenge for most provinces.
