So here's a question: Why shouldn't we just give southern ontario back to New York State and cut our losses?

In retrospect it should have been obvious: They thought we could send the manufacturing to China, then our job would be to manage the factories and do designs for the factories. You'd have to think the Chinese are pretty stupid (and they aren't) to think that's a remotely sustainable model of economic development. Everyone in the west who has ever worked a manufacturing floor is dying of old age, while in China there's generations of people who have grown up working in factories who know exactly how something can be designed to be built.
