Folks, it's not Trudeau or Harper. We're a resource-based economy that is not in high demand right now. Governments, past and present, have tried to stimulate and incentivize growth in new sectors that we can export globally, but that isn't easy in a world that competes for top talent. The BOC does control our dollar to make our products affordable to larger markets. No one is doing any of this to punish our own people. The Eeyore attitude of some contributors is so tiring.
