Seems like Coffeehouse and the others already said most of the things I wanted to say.
I agree with the fact that I you want to go to the US for a PhD, UBC is the one.
For Canada, it doesn't matter if you are a top student.
Now, for the industry, SFU has 2 of the most famous people in the world doing computational economics. (Richard Glen Harris, top 3 & Jasmina Arifovic, top 31 on Repec).
Computational economics is something that is a lot more marketable in the industry than the usual economics you learn in an MA.
Mix it with some time series and Bayesian and you are good to go for several sector (silicon valley, finance, amazon, walmart ...)
Note: il could also be usefull for a PhD.
So SFU could be the best choice in some cases.
