Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the Canadian economy and its structure, relay indicators, sectors, trade and policy from Statistics Canada, the Bank of Canada and international sources with attribution, describe provincial and territorial economies the registry aliases name, and distinguish the national economy from provincial economies and from Canadian public finances, presenting policy debates neutrally.

The economy of Canada, a highly developed mixed market economy and one of the largest in the world, based on services, natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals and timber, manufacturing and agriculture, closely integrated with the United States through trade agreements now under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement; provincial and territorial economies differ widely, from the resource and fisheries economies of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia and the agricultural economy of Prince Edward Island to northern economies of Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The model gives general information, not investment advice.
