Why Canadian confidently killed fiture of Canadian
Why Canadian confidently killed future of Canadian
Frank Li, April 8, 2026
May 18, 2016, in viewing 2012 disappointed reports Canada manufacturing plants disappearing at twice pace of U.S., and Canada's productivity lags U.S. in 'virtually every instance', etc., I once wrote article How to save Canada's manufacturing from disappearing to have indicated that:
“In the Era of market economy, living space has changed into market space from the geographic space of agricultural economy; the decline of manufacturing industry is in destructing the living space of Canadians.”
Canada once has world class leading manufacturers; but suicidal killed.
Nortel Networks was a dominant Canadian telecommunications equipment manufacturer, founded in 1895 as Northern Electric employed 94,000 people globally with groundbreaking inventions; but it filed for bankruptcy in 2009; and was liquidated by 2017, marking one of Canada's biggest corporate failures.
Research In Motion - RIM, later renamed as BlackBerry Limited; it was a Canadian software company specializing in cyber-security. Founded in 1984, it originally developed the BlackBerry brand of interactive pagers, smartphone and tablets. In the global smartphone industry, RIM can be called as originator and pioneer; but now, the most of people may don't know it anymore; it was a sadness of Canada manufacturing industry.
Bombardier Inc. was founded in 1942; a Canadian aerospace manufacturer which produces business jets. During the 1970s and 1980s, the company diversified into public transport vehicles and commercial jets, grew particularly fast at the end of the 1980s, and it became a multinational corporation. However, the launch of the CSeries aircraft sent Bombardier into deep debt, pushing it to the brink of bankruptcy by 2015. As a result, the company sold nearly all of its operations except business jet manufacturing.
The killer for Canada's manufacturing was French ancestors.
Ever since the French people hanged their king, the world runs under political correctness witch hunt of French ancestor made human rights.
The democractic politicians have to tout union culture to have killed labor quality; productivity and corrupted manufacturing industry; and the union culture is killing the work efficiency of government, hospitals, and everything.
Today, much of the infrastructure in Western democracies is a legacy of the quality generations who suffered through the two times of world wars.
Even so, if it was without the construction of the labors from China, there would be no Canadian Pacific Railway, and American Pacific Railway.
The $10 commemorative banknote issued to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary features a train—the "Canadian," which traversed the North American continent. This train, covering thousands of kilometers, connected the east and west coasts, showcasing Canada's unique landscapes and is world-renowned.
What is less known is that this project, undertaken over a century ago, was extremely difficult and dangerous, and was ultimately completed thanks to Chinese laborers. Their contributions essentially shaped half of Canada's Confederate history.
The first Prime Minister of Canada, John Macdonald, famously said: Without the Chinese laborers, the Pacific Railway could not have been completed on time, and the development of Western Canada would not have been possible."
When British Columbia joined the union in 1871, Canada agreed to build a rail line all the way to the Pacific coast. This astonishing feat was accomplished in just over four years largely due to the Chinese railway workers. Between 1881 and 1885, over 17,000 Chinese men came to Canada to work as labourers on the construction of the western section of the transcontinental railroad.
Chinese workers were mostly concentrated on a 250-mile section in British Columbia contracted out to Andrew Onderdonk. It appears that approximately 700 of them were killed in industrial accidents largely due to unsafe working conditions. Chinese labourers worked in harsh conditions and for less than half the pay of their white coworkers. There are no Chinese labourers in the famous “Last Spike” photo taken by Alexander Ross.
From 1865-1869, 12,000 Chinese immigrants constructed the western section of the transcontinental railroad – one of the greatest engineering feats in American history.
Also, in Canada; in terms of corporate management, it is lack of attention to incentive mechanisms and the wages are not linked to work performance; which is going on the dead path that has destroyed socialist country.
For example, a road repairs in China can be completed in one night. However, in Canada, the road is left to ripped open and exposed to the sun shine for six months. Meanwhile, the workers lie at home counting the money they earned from the neglected work.
In my 2014 article The Fatal DNA failed RIM & Canadian Enterprises, I cited an example An RIM senior exec has to express opinion by Open Letter.
I read an article Open letter to BlackBerry bosses: Senior RIM exec tells all as company crumbles around him Jun 30, 2011. The article wrote that: “We have received an open letter to Mike and Jim from a high-level RIM employee (whose identity we have verified), and in an amazingly honest and passionate plea, this letter gives fascinating insights into what RIM must fix, and fast. RIM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
The start of the open letter and the 8 suggestions as follow:
“To the RIM Senior Management Team:”
“I have lost confidence.”
“While I hide it at work, my passion has been sapped. I know I am not alone — the sentiment is widespread and it includes people within your own teams.”
“Mike and Jim, please take the time to really absorb and digest the content of this letter because it reflects the feeling across a huge percentage of your employee base. You have many smart employees, many that have great ideas for the future, but unfortunately the culture at RIM does not allow us to speak openly without having to worry about the career-limiting effects.”
The 8 suggestions:
1) Focus on the End User experience.
2) Recruit Senior SW Leaders & enable decision-making.
3) Cut projects to the bone.
4) Developers, not Carriers can now make or break us.
5) Need for serious marketing punch to create end user desire.
6) No Accountability – Canadians are too nice.
7) The press and analysts are pissing you off. Don’t snap. Now is the time for humility with a dash of paranoia.
8) Democratise. Engage and interact with your employees — please!
The proposals are not only pointed out the problems, but also offered workarounds, especially reconstruction of management, interaction with employees to be managed in accountability. It shows the writer's honesty in deep concern for RIM's future, and well thought out.
From above 8 suggestions, we could feel that chaotic in the management.
Above 8 suggestions were all to hit on the root cause of the failure of RIM and perfect suitable for any businesses.
However, RIM’s responds to open letter was not only with no thanks, instead, was somewhat hatred condemnation, the first paragraph is as follow:
“An “Open Letter” to RIM’s senior management was published anonymously on the web today and it was attributed to an unnamed person described as a ‘high level employee”. It is obviously difficult to address anonymous commentary and it is particularly difficult to believe that a “high level employee” in good standing with the company would choose to anonymously publish a letter on the web rather than engage their fellow executives in a constructive manner, but regardless of whether the letter is real, fake, exaggerated or written with ulterior motivations, it is fair to say that the senior management team at RIM is nonetheless fully aware of and aggressively addressing both the company’s challenges and its opportunities.”
I once talked with an employee who is working in the lab of RIM as a material scientist. She said that she once wrote a suggestions’ letter to the management of RIM, but without any response. She felt that the corporate culture of RIM is not worthy for appreciation.
Besides above, I once called my friends who were working in RIM at that time.
The one who works in the service department said that their work efficiency has a lot of room for improvement.
Obviously, in RIM, it has no normal channels for facilitating the communication between subordinates and superiors to promote the development with the wisdoms of all employees.
This is the same game in the democracies of the West.
The kill of the US manufacturing also told the reason for Canada; and as one of the democracies; Canada was also playing in the same way.
2018, in book Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides's Trap the American political scientist Graham Allison has indirectly proved that the United States has lost essential vitality along with the loss of social productivity.
The silver line of the Washington Metro began planning in 1968, officially launched in 2000, but began the construction until in 2009. The first phase of the project was completed in 2014, which was 46 years later from the start of the planning, but, that only completed 5 stations of planned 34.
The professor sighed that it’s even harder to know when the second phase of the connection to the Dulles Airport will be completed.
The professor introduced another project that was the bridge across the Charles River between the Kennedy School and Harvard Business School in a distance that can be seen from his office window.
In 2012, the State of Massachusetts said they were going to renovate this bridge, and it would take two years. But it was finished until 2017 with three times over budgeting.
As sharp contrast, the professor introduced a project in Beijing China; a much bigger bridge called the Sanyuan Bridge was renovated within 43 hours. The Professor disappointed said that now China completed project in hours is more than that of the United States completed in years.
Only the people of China can see the essence of the problem
Look at the United States; why does its infrastructure keep falling apart despite continuous investment in infrastructure? Only Chinese people living in the US can see the root cause of the problem. In order to fraudulently obtain federal investment, they deliberately failed to repair highways and railways.
Americans and Europeans have come to regard this antisocial behavior as normal. In an effort to deceive voters, the populist politicians support this behavior; this is a terminal cancer of democracies: viewing passive resistance work in unearned gains as reasonable and in line with human rights. Otherwise is deemed unethical.
Ultimately, the root cause lies in the low quality of the people, hey are inability to consider the bad consequences of their actions and they can’t conceder the harm to the life of their own lives and their families.
Wealthy Western democracies, enriched through war and economic plunder, promote absurd ideologies, the free world, values and human rights that mislead their ignorant populace. They also advocate for civil society autonomy, and the rampant evil of labor union culture has self-castrated, entering an irreversible suicidal process.
The above comment was inspired by a YouTube video The US's massive infrastructure spending to surpass China in 10 years is just a gimmick.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od7pYZdtymE&ab_channel= A viewer comment from @bettychiu1 3 years ago (edited): "The roads in my state are under construction all the time, but they're never really fixed. They're often repaired for a few weeks and then fall apart again. One resident secretly took materials to repair the uneven road in the middle of the night, but he got caught after a while and was sued by the state government for damaging the road without permission. Actually, everyone knows that bad roads are where the funding comes from, politicians get kickbacks, manufacturers make money, and workers have jobs, so everyone has to endure the uneven roads for a long time."

Why are Americans willing to pay for the maintenance of country's highways?
Please look at the American railroads that maintained by self-serving values and prioritize personal gain above all else. It would be a miracle if the trains didn't derail.

In 2023, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio. The burning chemicals emitted black smoke with a strong chemical odor. Dead fish subsequently appeared in a stream. Nearby residents reported that their chickens died suddenly and their pets became ill. Residents complained of headaches, burning eyes, and sore throats.
A train derailment is a deadly disaster! Own families live nearby; who wouldn't be terrified? Politicians waste money on bombing around the world, ignoring the lives of their own people. Americans have to pay for the materials themselves and secretly work through the night to repair the railroad.
Americans have been terribly harmed by democratic politicians. Is America still a country governed by people?
Let's look at some viewer comments on the video above
@fatfishwen2332; 3 years ago (revised), I was studying in Texas. There was construction near the 230 intersection on Highway 35, widening the road. Construction started when I arrived in 2015, and now, in 2021, after I've graduated with my PhD, it's still not finished. The worst part is, you don't see anyone working. You don't see anyone on weekdays, and you don't see anyone on weekends. There's a roadside barrier, but not a single worker. It's just an airport exit, and they're doing this. Ten years, a president's term is four, even a re-election only eight years. When election day comes, it's all about empty promises and wrangling, and then the new president overturns the old policies. Hasn't this been the US for over two hundred years?
@meijuanfu6869; 3 years ago (revised), I lived in a small town in Colorado where the roads hadn't been repaired for years. A short road, only a few dozen meters long, had hundreds of potholes of varying sizes. Workers would come to repair it every year. First, 3-4 surveyors would arrive, usually working 3-4 hours a day, and the job would generally take two days to complete. On the third day, two workers would arrive in a small asphalt truck and haphazardly patch the potholes, typically repairing only a small section of the road each year, about a few potholes the size of a washbasin. Even after the repairs were finished, many potholes remained unfilled. The work was completed in about an hour, and the remaining asphalt was carelessly discarded on the roadside, causing pedestrians to frequently trip. The workers wouldn't even bother to add a little asphalt to the potholes next to the newly repaired road. They said that the budget for this year had been used up, and the potholes next to the road wouldn't be repaired until next year.
@jennychen7511; 3 years ago, I could understand. Like in the UK, discussions about expanding Heathrow or Gatwick airport had raged for over a decade with no progress. In contrast, several large airports in China have been completed in that time – there's no comparison!
