Doesn't that statement absolutely refute the base premise of 'dutch disease' then?
So why is manufacturing growing in the west and not ON? More competetive environment, closer to markets, new long over due ports and freight management?
Did China put all it's manufacturing eggs in the Shenzen basket or is industry spread out?

No answer then, eh?
Either dutch disease exists in full wherein mfgring can't compete in a resource enviro or the entire theory is a big steaming pile of crap
You can't have growth in manufacturing in one region and decline in the other during a "Dutch Disease" infestation. It would need to blanket the entire sector not just by region.
What you are seeing is decentralization in manufacturing but you blame it on resources.

I wouldn't assume that this disease is something that is extremely prevalent right now.
That's why there are studies to determine if it is in it's infancy stages.
Massive increases in manufacturing output are in their infancy but this time it's not going to be ON reaping the benefit. It's going west.

You did? Or you read the news coverage? If you did read it, well then you must have skipped the conclusion section, as well as the introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of the paper:
6. Conclusion
Common perception about the oil sand extraction from Alberta often underlines the opposition
between economic benefits and environment costs. This view nevertheless neglects the fact
that the economics of the tar sands has its own dark side. The dark side is the Dutch disease
associated to increase in oil revenues and proceeds from the extraction of other primary products.
One possible outcome is that the losers are regionally located in Southern Ontario and Quebec,
which in turn might increase regional frictions and fragmentation in a country that is highly
decentralized.

I sure did but for some strange reason nobody can explain the decline of manufacturing when oil was $50bbl and output in Canadian oil far lower 10 years ago.
How did that happen?
Asking for facts instead of theories isn't goal post moving.
Why doesn't it say "oil sands"?
Got one of Bundy making toilet flushing sounds? You can use it to describe ON manufacturing competitiveness.
