I say that well because there actually haven't been any GHG regulations implemented that that is false and that Oil Sands investment is one of the reasons for manufacturing taking such a beating. Why? Because foreign investment has driven up our dollar. Nowhere did I say this was a 'bad' thing. I simply stated what is happening, Oil Sands investment is partly responsible for the ills of the manufacturing sector. This is not a normative argument.

Actually the meteoric rise in oil prices, and the rapid decline of the US dollar were responsible for the rise in our dollar. That caused the decline in manufacturing, no longer do you cost 0.6 of someone in the states. Someones been watching too many Liberal ads where they demonize everything Oil and Gas related.
