Newly-minted federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, betting that the buggy whip will make a comeback, wants Ottawa to back off investing in the oilsands and pump more money into manufacturing.
Would these be non-union shops?
Would these include another Caterpillar?
It is difficult enough to buy a Canadian flag in this country, let alone a home appliance, that is not made in China, and tough to talk to a customer-service rep without ending up having a frustrating chat with someone in India.
Put an end to imports from China, for example, and every dollar store in Canada, along with most department stores, would shut down. They could not survive.
As a result, many businesses moved to outsourcing when Buy Canadian became unaffordable patriotism, primarily thanks to unions pricing their services to unaffordable heights. Or they closed down altogether.
Sometimes non-union Canadian trades are able to move in but, generally, outsourcing overseas is often the only option between profit and loss, particularly when unions were pricing their services without any concern for their employer's bottom line.
While waving the orange in Ontario in support of provincial NDP Andrea Horwath over the weekend, Mulcair -- call me "Thomas" in Quebec, but "Tom" in the Rest of Canada -- :lol: said he would not backtrack on slamming the Harper government for kissing up to the oilsands at the expense of manufacturers who export most of their products.
