In the tech world, talent is leaving the U.S. and coming to Canada to set up companies in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. This is due to Canada's growing tech reputation, the ability to get a work visa, and the dire political situation down south. Fast-tracking highly-skilled individuals for a modern competitive economy and letting them flex their entrepreneurial chops is about the best thing we can be doing for our country going forward.

Energy is a very important industry in the Canadian landscape. But energy's nominal GDP contribution for Canada is 10.2%. Additionally, only 4.4% of total employment in Canada was in the Energy sector. Real Estate, Manufacturing, Construction, Finance/Insurance, Public Administration and Healthcare all contribute more.

It's important as an industry, but I am not sure I would call it Canada's #1 industry. That label needs some specifics.
