It shows exactly how dependent we are on resourced-based economies. The west coast is all red, forestry and fishing crashed on the west coast, and the prairies are all green, oil boom from the last few decades. I'm a little surprised that immigration between provinces did not even out incomes between the two resource boom/bust cycles.
You raise a good point - I wonder where are people who changed province are shown on the map? That is, are they indicated by their current province or that of their upbringing (ie. their parents province)?
