In time, the course of history enlarged the region's economic activities. Wheat-farming would unquestionably remain basic, from southern Manitoba to the Peace River country of northern Alberta; though crops like sugar beets and canola (used considerably for its edible oil) ... brought more diversity to agriculture. Cattle-ranching, besides, flourished from the Alberta foothills back into Saskatchewan; while lumbering advanced in more northern forest areas, and even commercial fishing was far from insignificant in major freshwaters like Lake Winnipeg. Above all, however, large-scale mining activities developed as well. The plains assuredly would yield great quantities of oil and natural gas (especially but by no means exclusively in Alberta), of potash and uranium in Saskatchewan, and metal ores notably in Manitoba. Furthermore, manufacturing and service industries grew also in major cities of the region.
