We also can kick everyone’s butt in the world in…manufacturing.

We couldn’t twenty years ago. China/Viet Nam etc were invincible, simply due to those countries having large populations to draw from. These people also were very poor, and culturally hardworking. Robotics have changed everything. Ten people can do what would have taken 100-200 before.
What is needed right now are the following: Water, tons of it. Manufacturing almost always requires lots of water. Fuel, tons of it. Access to natural resources. Access to large markets. A non corrupt educated population that is on board with hard work.
Name one place in the word that has those five main inputs in greater amounts than BC. You won’t be able to.
We have water, energy - both hydro and natural gas, plus easy access to Alberta oil. Massive natural resources of all types. A relatively compliant and relatively educated populace. And we have easy unfettered access to the massive American market.
Even if China can still produce some things slightly cheaper they won’t be able to compete. Shipping costs will make up for whatever advantage they have in some areas. The fact China has to buy their natural Resources elsewhere and ship these to China also eliminates any edge they might have.
And, inter China shipping costs are very high. And time consuming. There are cities of 20 million you haven’t even heard of. It takes trucks three hours or more to get through these cities.
Ten years of good leadership and we could easily be twice as wealthy. With so much employment we would never have to worry about lack of jobs again.
We need degree programs in every institution in manufacturing and robotics. Graduate 200-500 kids a year in BC with training in programmable variable controls, computer manufacturing, and in ten years there will be 1000-5,000 manufacturing startups. With more added every year. Many will fail. Many won’t. Even those that fail will provide experience that will be used elsewhere.
The future is good. We need leadership that can see this.
