The oil industry isnt remotely the entire Canadian economy, Harper said at an event Thursday in St. Catharines, Ont., as he spoke about the impact of plummeting oil prices. Industry Minister James Moore recently told CBC News that while the government has done much to advance the cause of oil pipelines, its up to the companies involved to deliver. Thats a different tone than Harper took shortly after he took office, when he told a British audience that Canada was an energy superpower, and that oilsands development was akin to building the Great Wall of China or the pyramids. It was a phrase that would emerge again during a 2012 trip to China. CP | By Jennifer Ditchburn, The Canadian Press
