Straw-man argument. I never claimed "energy doesn’t matter for industry".
And contrary to some other people here I don't claim to know everything about Canadian industrial problems and also don't constantly post tabloid articles about it. I would actually be interested in non-tabloid articles being posted about Canadian issues as I know very little about that.
You said it plays a minor role which is bullshit. Tell me how can the Euro economy/industry can make adjustments if it lacks cheap energy that is available elsewhere?
I said compared to the other current global economic issues the lack of cheap energy supplies for a very selected part (comprising mostly of outmoded industry) of companies in central Europe is relatively minor. And that is undeniably true, look at any economic indicator and you will see that the EU as a whole is not doing uniquely bad right now.
This is why I laugh when you assert being European as a point because Europeans make great American dogs. Not doing uniquely bad? What kind of neoliberal nightmarish bullshit is this? How much kool-aid can you stomach? As if Europe is better off without the cheaper energy that makes it more competitive with the US.
