We’ve needed a better industrial policy/strategy for quite sometime now, way before Trudeau happened. We have been falling behind in productivity, in investment in research and IP, all leading indicators of creation of wealth and prosperity for decades. We just can’t rely on oil and natural resource booms to keep us afloat economically. None of the prior administrations have brought that, and Trudeau’s hasn’t got that vision. Neither does PP quite frankly. He hasn’t said jack that talks to how we’re going to be more competitive, nor does he have the brains for it.
Government isn’t about industrial policy any more, the leaders are all too busy with the latest all-purpose political strategy: Flood the zone with useless bullshit, hope something good happens that you can take credit for.
