If anything one of the solutions to the problem you describe is more investment in post-secondary. If we cannot compete with manufacturers overseas then we find a better advantage. Information economy services, the like, they all require educated people to perform those tasks. THe more educated from more university access could be very good economic policy.
Countries in Europe have done just that. Look at how small Norway and others are leaders in software. Why can't Canada be?

Investing in University doesn't create jobs in itself. Last time I checked the huge number of social science degrees graduated in North America aren't creating much except large debts.
Businesses create jobs. We should create an environment for business to succeed.
