Sadly, Canada didn't use the recent good times in commodities to invest in other industries and further diversify its economy. The country remained stuck in its rut of relying on exporting rocks and trees for economic growth. Well, with the global slow-down happening, I'm afraid that party is over (or at least feeling super gross with a wicked hangover).
Canada could have taken its surpluses, its stronger currency and its commodities revenues to make some strategic investments. But it passed on that opportunity and now maybe future opportunities will pass on Canada.
