Manufacturing and resource development are the biggest contributors. If that business is cut in half, what would be left?

We have to find better, cleaner ways of doing these things. Don't know enough about manufacturing to really say what can be cleaned up, and it all likelyhood we're going to have to wean out our fossil fuel dependency in general. These questions are not unique to Canada, but they are ones that everyone will have to face eventually.
So, what would be left? Well those (and many other) industries will have to change significantly, as well as people's overall attitudes and habits. But Earth might be left. So I'd say that's pretty significant.
