We talk a lot about all the misery of the manufacturers because of the strength of the Canadian dollar. Is it a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease? Is it because they have better hostages than the other sectors of the economy because of the huge enterprises and the huge unions that are there?
I realize, for instance, when we talk about forestry, in my riding the big companies are in trouble; the little family companies are thriving and opening night shifts.
So why are we so emotional about the manufacturers? Is it because they have better hostages than the others?
