Canada has a large manufacturing industry sector, making goods that are sold across the globe, including computer technology, paper, cars, machines, clothes, food, aeroplanes and much else. The largest market for Canadian goods is the USA.
Natural resource industries have been very influential in the development and history of Canada.
