Better for whom? The out of work AC employees, or the scumbag operators who could move in with cheap labour from the Middle East?
hmmmm....
Perhaps it would be better for the "hyphenated-Canadians" with their Canadian passports, who could then get cheaper access to their overseas homes...but I wouldn't confuse that with being "better for the industry" in Canada.
By that logic, I suppose you also think that shifting all of the manufacturing to China has been great for the manufacturing industry in Ontario.
Yep.
It's all working out great....
