List of Canadian provinces and territories by gross domestic product
This article lists Canadian provinces and territories by gross domestic product .
While Canada's ten provinces and three territories exhibit high per capita GDPs, there is wide variation among them. Ontario, the country's most populous province, is a manufacturing and trade locus with extensive linkages to the northeastern and midwestern United States. The economies of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador and the territories rely heavily on natural resources and produce the highest per capita GDP values in the country. On the other hand, Manitoba, Quebec and The Maritimes have the country's lowest per capita GDP values.
In the face of these long-term regional disparities, the Government of Canada redistributes some of its revenues through unconditional equalization payments and finances the delivery of comparable levels of government services through the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer.
