Even with globalization issues, our manufacturing sector taken as a whole is on par with oil and gas from a GDP perspective and employs more people. Its a good story. One thing thats always annoyed me about all our auto-bail out money is we never ended up with a Canadian car manufacturer. And the blame for that goes to - you guessed it - that lump Harper. Magna was set to purchase Opel and start producing our own cars, here and in Europe. GM got Harper to block it due to his hate for the Stronach family. This isn't remotely true. The GM board voted against as they had initially planned to retain more of their European holdings following bankruptcy https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/gms-board-scuttles-magna-deal/article1364145/ If there had been any suggestion that Harper has put a personal rivalry above Canadian interests it would have been everywhere.
