A somber wakeup call for the Canadian industry, entrepreneurs, and the government: our lack of industry leadership has turned Canada into 'cheap industrialized hub' and a nation of call-centers, while the entrepreneurs lack the global ambition and chutzpah to look beyond Canada, and last but not least, the government's industrial policy has turned into a social hammock, lulling the country into a false sense of entitlement.But it's not all doom and gloom, Andrea Campbell also looks at a number of parallels (Ireland, Australia, etc.), and offers many tips and ideas to reverse the cycle. After all, Canada's most important resource is its people (no, it's not natural resources), and there is no doubt that with the right mindset, we can put Canada back on the map - industrial, innovation, and leadership.I wish this was required reading for every Canadian.
