What they're suggesting would be a lot easier and cheaper if we still had a nationalized oil industry.

Why stop at oil, why not forestry, mining, manufacturing, tech, real estate?

Alberta cant be the only one with their resources being redirected, wouldnt a full socialist utopia in every province be a fairer path?

Excellent point! We should do this to all our major industries

[–] maplesaga@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Well its only fair, it makes no sense to specifically target Albertas industries. Its almost like we do have it out for them at that point, and maybe they should separate.

Doesn't even have to be fully nationalized, even owning just one national oil company like Petro-Canada was so that profits stay for Canadians and we have freedom to choose to do something like this.

But isn't that evil authoritarian communism? /s

For young ones and new Canadians: FYI Petro-Canada was founded as a crown corporation and operated as such until 1991.
