Title: How will the Fort McMurray Fires impact the Alberta & Canadian economies?
Post by: JOE on May 04, 2016, 02:42:41 PM
Will/has this led to major shutdowns of plants/working operations there?

And if so, how long will they be down?



I've read somewhere that the oil patch may be at least 5% of Canada's economy.

And if all the people living/working there are servicing this area, must be a huge loss in downtown.



Anyways, since I don't live there, perhaps those who live closer to it can fill us in on the economic impact of this fire.

The industrial sites are not in the city. I guess they would lack manpower to run them.
