    Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050047828
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Growth improved in 2004, part of the world economy having its best year in almost 3 decades.

Energy, especially the tar sands, was a focal point of the upturn in resources. Housing also enjoyed another good year. Growth was evenly spread, with no major industry or province posting a loss last year.
