If you could compare science to humans, this would be science:

They're often out enjoying a healthy breaky of green eggs and ham... Then its off to fabricate some more fairy tales about impending doom and how taxes with fix everything

Don't forget how throttling back oil extraction will automatically fix everything, while not adversely affecting global and domestic markets, lol.

Of course it will... It's the Canadian answer to dutch disease - we call it Mulcair Dementia.

When in doubt: if it moves, tax it - If it still lives, tax it again

Sustainable manufacturing isn't doing ON any good.


It's doing big favors for mfg in Sask though

To be honest, the stats on Ontario mfg job loss, was surprising. I got out of mfg when the economy took a dump on me. Now I focus on service and repair, as a subcontractor, with only a small mfg shop for small custom work jobs.

Between Action Plan Canada, and the businesses that are being built, I'm pretty busy.

Herein lies the difference - you evolve(d) to meet the conditions within the commercial environment and general economy.

I understand that not all mfg business' can turn on a dime like you did, but to have an entire sector get hammered like this is (to a degree) is like they were simply deer staring into the headlights.

Back in the day when SK was the third largest province, ON whined about manufacturing jobs so govt gave wicked incentives to manufacturing to set up shop in ON. We lost a GM truck plant and oodles of implement companies and flour mills.

The jerk circle in the dozen or so preceding posts need no response, but I am curious about your last.

When was the day when Saskatchewan was the third largest province?
