   Yeah, right 'the cost of electricity' is what makes companies take their   
   manufacturing jobs to China and Pakistan and India.   
   Parrot M.I.Wakefield much?   
      
   Jobs have been flying out of Ontario and other parts of Canada because our   
   government ALLOWS corporations to take their businesses to LOWER WAGE   
   jurisdictions.   
   Labour costs, ya dim bulb . . .  not the cost of lighting the plant in Ontario.   
      
   If the Harper government simply increased tariffs on any goods coming into   
   Canada from low-wage countries, he'd be letting those companies know that if   
   they take their jobs out of Canada, they're going to have to pay more to have   
   Canadian consumers as their customers.   
      
   It's all explained here for you dimwitted right wing stooges:
