US exports to Canada in 1979 rose 16.7% to $33 billion. This was second only to exports to the whole of the European communities and more than double the exports to Japan -- the second largest single-country market. The divergent Canadian market is discussed in a series of articles outlining the major forces in each region's economic forecast. British Columbia, Alberta, and the Prairie provinces are expanding at a pace well ahead of the national average. In Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces specific industries are expanding to meet rising or shifting demand patterns. The series of articles was prepared by US commercial officers responsible for closely monitoring business developments in Canada's regional markets. General trends of development for each region as well as specific projects planned should be helpful to potential US exporters. The articles specifically discuss British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Provinces. 2 figures. (SAC)
