Just dumping money into 'manufacturing' will not help all that much unless you can make it cheaper than it costs to import.
Canada needs to find something else to make money off of. It will have be some kind of mix of resource and tertiary industries.

There's plenty of manufacturing that doesn't rely on being the cheapest.
