Isn't Ontario full of logged forests and mines? Not to mention hydro power? (as documented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjLBXb1kgMo)

Also full of minerals (nickel, copper etc). I'm not sure how productive the mines are anymore but Ontario has areas names Nickel Belt, Copperclif, Nickel Centre.
