How has the economy of the prairie provinces changed in recent decades?

In recent decades, the economy of the prairie provinces—Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba—has diversified beyond traditional agriculture and resource extraction. While oil and gas have driven significant economic growth, particularly in Alberta, there has been an increased focus on technology, renewable energy, and services. Additionally, agricultural practices have modernized, incorporating advanced technologies that enhance productivity. This shift has led to a more resilient economy, though fluctuations in global commodity prices remain a challenge.
