Canada is a large country with a variety of industries. Because it is a country with a highly educated workforce that expects creative and flexible work places, Canada must be considered to be a postindustrial society.

Examples of such industry in Canada would include the oil industry at Fort McMurray Alberta, the Diamond mines in the N.W.T. farming in the central and…
