Alberta is the best province in the country at creating a positive investment climate while struggling Ontario is fifth overall, says a report released Thursday by independent research organization the Fraser Institute.

The organization looks a various provincial policies from tax rates to regulation, transportation, infrastructure and fiscal prudence, said Niels Veldhuis, Fraser Institute director of fiscal studies and co-author of the report.
