Where are you getting these numbers that its economy is shrinking? Source?
I'm finding
information that Edmonton's GDP shrunk in 2016, but was back to real growth in 2017, 2018, and projected for 2019. Before that the GDP was growing the five previous years (2011-2015).
Sorry, I am not buying the economy shrinkage argument. Public sector shift? Perhaps, yes, but to contextualize that its shrinking is dangerous and false.
