The over the top reaction to Bill 6 tells me that things are not all that great down on the farm either.
It is not as if we weren't told. As Tallyrand told Louis the fourteenth, in referring to Canadians, he used a Biblical quote, "They are hewers of wood and drawers of water". We have got to get a manufacturing industry going asap.

Yes, we need to look at increasing manufacturing. The current governments (Both Federal and Provincial) seem to be hard wired to frustrate this goal though. Increasing taxes, regulations and energy costs are all destined to make manufacturing less likely. In the end we will likely see lots more corporate welfare as government tries to woo business by giving them free stuff instead. Then of course we all get to pay more in taxes to generate the new jobs that we would not have to be doing if government would stop making it so hard to do business.
