    Yeah this seems like a time we should be pumping resources into the Federal Business Development Bank, or whatever they call it now, as Canadian business pundit-of-the-day always complains about the lack of investment funds being a barrier to building up local industry.

    The BDC (I checked , that’s the latest name) may be making a difference but it’s not enough. Whole sectors should receive massive public attention.

      This is absolutely the right answer. If we can’t find foreign investment, it’s time to create some domestically in strategic critical industries. If necessary we should be willing to spin up crown corps to cover critical resources as well.
